An emergency call from a member of Kabalikat Civicom
was received through radio about a motorcycle accident at Diversion Road,
Manduriao in front of SM City Terminal at around 3am, Friday, April 13, 2012.
The male victim was badly injured but remains conscious according to the
initial information from the caller. ICER (medic3) ambulance and crew rushed to
the scene and found the victim inside an unfinished road repair area. The patient
was sitting beside his motorcycle full of blood and had a fractured right arm.
The ambulance crew provided a cervical collar and a splint to the fractured arm
of the patient to stabilize the arm. The patient was then transferred to the
spine board and loaded to the ambulance. Additional vital signs were taken and
other assessment was made inside the ambulance to provide comfort to the
patient. Patient sustained multiple abrasions and an avulsion on his forehead. After
a while the crew decided to take the patient to the nearest hospital due to its
conditions for further medical attention.
A bystander at the scene blames the improper warning
signs without a distance from the reconstructed road, besides the victim’s
conditions under the influence of alcohol and without wearing a helmet while
driving.
