TWO STUDENTS died in a drag racing incident in Parañaque City early Sunday morning.

Michael Kevin San Juan, of Sunrise St. Lapaz Village, Makati, was racing along Macapagal Boulevard near MIA Road in Parañaque with his friend, Price Allan Cristobal of Perlita Street, San Andres Bukid Manila, in the passenger seat. They were both 17.

San Juan was driving his Opel Astra (WNC 430) around 2 a.m. at a fast pace along the Macapagal Boulevard when a trailer truck towed by an Isuzu truck (PNK937) made a turn at the boulevard shoulder on the way to the MIA road, P02 Jose Adducul of Paranaque Traffic Enforcement Unit said.

The car slipped under the trailer truck and crashed. The car’s roof was torn off due to the collision.
