ISANG pamilyang Pinoy na kinabibilangan ng mag-asawa at mga anak na sanggol at 5-anyos totoy ang namatay kasama ang kanilang kaibigan nang mabangga ang sinasakyang Mitsubishi SUV sa isang malaking puno sa Highway 99 ng Delano, California.
Sa hindi pa nalalamang dahilan, tumatakbo ang sasakyan sa bilis na 70mph nang mapunta sa gilid ng kalsada at bumangga sa isang puno.
Kinilala ng mga kamag-anak ang mga biktima na sina Jalson Laguta, 46; Arlene Laguta, 30; ang kanilang dalawang anak na sina Jalson Laguta, 5, at sanggol na si Jarl Joseph Laguta; at ang kanilang kaibigang si Danilo Aquino Sanidad, 60.
Napag-alamang galing sa simbahan ang mga biktima na pawang mga kasapi ng Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Sa kasalukuyan, patuloy na iniimbestagan ng California Highway Patrol ang tunay na dahilan ng sakuna.
Ayon sa kaibigan ng pamilya at kasama sa simbahan na su Micah Lipayon, “Jalson and Arlene were close friends. They truly loved each other and their 2 wonderful children. Their love for Jehovah their God strengthened the bond with the family and the congregation. I have enjoyed knowing them as well as Danilo. My grandson is the same age as Joseph and he can sense that his friend is gone. Jalson and Arlene were kind friends that were always ready to help. Jalson has helped me many times when I needed it. He was a true friend. Arlene was quiet yet willing to go out of her way to help people. She devoted most of her time in teaching people about the bible. She set a good example for all Christians to imitate. I look forward to seeing them again when the Bible’s promise of a resurrection is fulfilled. They will be missed.”
