Police Lt. Col. Anthony Grande, Himamaylan police chief, said the victim was speeding on his way home when he figured in a head-on collision with the bus on its way to this city.
Grande said that that the victim might have dozed off or avoided something on the road. As a result, he lost control over the motorcycle and encroached the lane of the bus.
The victim was not wearing a helmet and died on the spot. The bus driver and his passengers were unharmed.
Grande said that representatives from Vallacar Transit Inc. (VTI) and the victim’s family have reached a settlement, adding that the bus firm has assured assistance to Panaligan’s family.
