Fatal Cebu City collision death of Daryl Curia – Obituary
Daryl Curia, 31, lost his life early Saturday morning after a collision involving his motorcycle and a Ford pick-up truck on the flyover of Gov. Cuenco Avenue in Cebu City.
The accident occurred around 3:00 a.m. on May 31, 2025. Curia, who lived with his partner in Barangay Buhisan, was thrown from his bike after it veered into the opposite lane and struck the left front side of the pick-up truck driven by 48-year-old Carmelo Inocando, who was accompanied by his wife at the time.
The impact caused Curia to fall onto the pavement with serious injuries. Emergency responders rushed him to a private hospital, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
An investigation by the Cebu City Police Traffic Enforcement Unit found that Curia’s motorcycle was speeding and attempting to counterflow when the crash happened.
Though charges of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide and damage to property were initially planned against Inocando, both parties have since agreed to settle the matter without pursuing legal action.
