Overview
- The official accident report estimates the pickup’s speed between 73 and 100 km/h, with a most probable 88 km/h, versus a 40 km/h limit, while the Renault 12 moved at about 15 km/h.
- Calculations show the crash was physically avoidable: the Amarok needed roughly 80.2 meters to stop and was about 88 meters away, and the Renault required 7.7 meters with around 15 meters available.
- Video and forensic findings indicate the Renault re‑started on a red light and traveled without required lights as the Amarok approached the intersection without slowing.
- Driver Jean Michael Carballo is accused of aggravated negligent homicide, was granted release on a 30‑million‑peso bond, and returned negative results in alcohol and drug testing.
- Prosecutors set an expanded statement for Nov. 19 with an added aggravating factor for excessive speed, while the couple’s 13‑year‑old continues recovering after surgery and siblings remain in family care.
