DAPITAN CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Feb. 17, 2014) – An American national and a Filipino policeman were both killed in a motorcycle collision in the southern Philippine city of Dapitan, police said Monday.

 

Chief Inspector Ariel Huesca, a regional police spokesman, identified the victims as 60-year old Stephen Richard Orr, from Pineville, Los Angeles; and SPO1 Armand Sagario Dalman, 42, assigned with the Sibutad police station.

 

Huesca said the policeman’s wife, Nora, 42, was also injured in the road accident which occurred in the village of Polo. 

 

Emergency workers rushed the foreigner and the policeman in the hospital, but both died along the way, police said, but it was unknown whether officials informed the Department of Foreign Affairs or the U.S. embassy in Manila about the death of Orr whose American address is 2114 Shreveport Hwy Apt 271, Pineville, Rapides County.

 

Police provided no other details about the personal background of Orr or whether he had a Filipino family or business in Dapitan City, except that he was temporarily residing in the area. (Mindanao Examiner)

Somebody interpreted his address as LA, Los Angeles, but the LA means Louisiana, the state.

 

Another reminder to drive carefully on your bikes!
