Injured were Jude Jett Areglo, 40, of Moises Padilla, Negros Occidental, and Sheila Mae Niem, 23, according to the police.
Based on initial investigation, a truck driven by Jemmy Panes of Victorias City was tailing the motorcycle driven by Areglo.
The motorcycle was able to cross the road before the red light, but Panes allegedly beat the red light, leading him to hit the motorcycle.
Areglo lost control over the motorcycle and they all fell to the ground.
The truck then ran over the child that resulted in her immediate death.
Police are preparing the filing of charges against the truck driver, who is detained at Police Station 4.
Last Saturday, a motorcycle rider also died after he hit a truck that executed a left turn in Barangay Banago here.
