According to Police Senior Master Sergeant Rey Cubero of Loboc Police Station, at past 6 a.m. on Sunday, September 8, the trailer truck loaded with turbine was on its way to Santa Clara Electric Corporation in Barangay Gotozon in Loboc town.

The trailer truck fell on its side and broke through the highway railings, and almost falling off a ravine 10 meters deep.
