BACOLOD CITY - Two riders died after their motorcycles collided at Bangga Caloy, Hacienda Librada, Barangay Concepcion, Talisay City, Negros Occidental on Sunday.

The victims were identified as Marvin Martir, 28, of Barangay Dos Hermanas, and Ramil Jayawon, 32, of Barangay Concepcion.
Police Staff Master Sgt. Michael Mcdowell, traffic investigator of Talisay City Police Station, said the two victims were believed to be on top of their speed as they approached a curve part of the road, resulting in a collision.
Due to strong impact, Mcdowell said the victims were thrown off their motorcycles and suffered fatal injuries despite wearing helmets.
Both were on their way home when the accident occurred, he added.
Mcdowell said they could not determine if both were under the influence of liquor.
But, he said that Martir reportedly came from the birthday of his grandmother, based on the information he received.
Mcdowell said that Martir died on the spot while Jayawon was declared dead on arrival at Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital here.
