BACLAYON, Bohol — An ambulance owned by the local government unit of Loboc figured in a road accident along the National Highway in Barangay Poblacion, Baclayon, Bohol, shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026.
The Baclayon Police Station said its initial investigation indicated that the accident was caused by the driver falling asleep while driving.
PSSg. Protacio Man-on, investigator of the Baclayon police, said the driver admitted that he had fallen asleep while traveling from Loboc to the Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Medical Center in Tagbilaran City, where he was supposed to bring a patient for medical treatment.
When the driver woke up, the ambulance had already veered toward the side of the road. It first hit a parked motorcycle before proceeding and colliding with a parked Mitsubishi Xpander.
The driver and the patient aboard the ambulance were both safe following the incident. They were immediately assisted and transferred to another ambulance, which brought the patient to the hospital.
Following the accident, the LGU of Loboc and the owners of the damaged motorcycle and SUV reached an agreement regarding payment for the damages caused by the collision.
The Baclayon Police Station is continuing its documentation and formal investigation to establish the complete details of the incident.
