Traffic enforcer Angela Garcia, aged 50, and Emily Polidario, aged 63, have been identified as the victims.
According to Staff Sergeant Alfredo Macabudbud, a traffic investigator from Inayawan Police Station 7, Garcia was assisting Polidario in crossing the street when a Toyota Fortuner driven by Ian Yap Maurin, 51, from Pinamungahan town in midwest Cebu collided with them.
According to Macabudbud, Maurin was allegedly in a rush and failed to notice the two victims due to the sun’s glare affecting his eyesight.
