A two-year-old girl survived while her parents and seven-year-old brother died after a traffic accident in Sta. Catalina, Negros Oriental over the weekend.

The survivor is recuperating at a hospital in Bayawan City, according to Lt. Stephen Polinar, spokesperson of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office (NOPPO) yesterday.

Her parents and brother were brought to a morgue in Dumaguete City.

The initial police investigation showed that the family were on board a motorcycle when it collided with a tricycle around 9:15 p.m. on Sunday, March 24, in Barangay Poblacion.

The male tricycle driver, 42 years old, was unharmed and was detained at the Bayawan City police station.

The police are coordinating with the City Social Welfare and Development Office of Bayawan on how to deal with the orphan, Polinar added. (PNA)
