LUCENA CITY — A 42-year-old truck helper died while the driver was injured when their vehicle collided with an Isuzu refrigerated van on Wednesday night in Atimonan, Quezon.

The truck was negotiating a descending, curved section of the diversion road in Barangay Malinao Ilaya at 8:15 p.m. when the driver reportedly lost control due to the wet, slippery road, the Quezon police said in a report on Thursday.

The wayward truck overshot the curve and collided with the oncoming refrigerated van, police said.
