LOOK: A Canter delivery truck accidentally fell into the sea at Hilton Wharf in Barangay Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City, at around 7 AM today after strong winds brought by the southwest monsoon (Habagat) caused the RORO vessel to sway violently while the truck was being prepared for loading going to Olango Island delivery.
The strong movement reportedly caused the rope securing the truck to snap, sending the canter into the water. The driver and his helper immediately jumped onto the RORO vessel to escape.
The helper, however, was reportedly struck by the rope as it snapped, causing an injury to his shoulder.
Rescue and recovery operations followed.
