Philippines, The driver of a truck that rammed several vehicles, killing a 28-year-old pastor and wounding several others in last week Saturday, has been released.

The persons involved in the accident decided not to press charges against him, opting instead to settle.

The family of the victim, whose body was dismembered after he was thrown off his motorcycle and got run over by the truck, agreed to accept P180,000 from the trucker.

The 8t injured persons received financial aid ranging from P700 to P18,000.

Relatives of the trucker gave P48,000 for the funeral.They also promised to give his family P35,000 in September and P35,000 in October.

They will also shoulder the payment of the pastor’s motorcycle, which was not yet fully paid. The vehicle is worth around P60,000.

The truck’s brake reportedly malfunctioned while traveling on a sloping road.

The trucker said he tried to avoid hitting vehicles by driving along the edge of the road. But his truck eventually hit 10 vehicles, including four motorcycles.

He would have faced complaints of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, multiple physical injuries and damage to properties before the Office of the City Prosecutor.

i can't tell what's even worse, the relatives "selling" a family member for a few bucks, or the fact that the trucker got away pretty cheap .

The fucker knew his brakes were broken, so he should be the dismembered one

180,000P is probably worth two years of sewing soccer balls. Gotta feed your family somehow
