A sleeping 19-year-old man was killed after being run over by a trailer truck in Barangay Sucat, Muntinlupa, early morning on March 6. 

The accident happened at about 4:15 a.m. along West Service Road beside a fast food commissary. 

The Muntinlupa police identified the victim as John Cyrus Garciano, a truck helper and resident of Purok Uno, Buntong Palay in San Mateo, Rizal. 

Police reported that based on the account of the trailer truck’s driver Ariel, his truck was driven by his helper, identified as Jeric, 38. 

The trailer truck sideswiped a parked utility van before it hit and ran over Garciano, who was sleeping in a hammock. The truck also hit a concrete fence.

Jeric fled after the accident. 

Personnel from the Muntinlupa City Disaster Reduction and Management Office (MCDDRMO) responded to retrieve Garciano who was pronounced dead by a doctor. 

In a Facebook post, the MCDDRMO said the truck was being maneuvered to deliver goods when the accident happened.
