Be careful when taking selfies.
“A vacationing overseas Filipino worker (OFW) named Liezle Waga died after a speeding motorcycle struck her while she was taking a selfie along the highway in Barangay Baloi in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte on Wednesday, July 22,” reports Raymund Catindig in The Philippine Star.
The report noted: “Waga had asked the driver of their vehicle to pull over so she could take a selfie at a scenic spot with her family when a motorcycle driven by Peregno Lagudin hit her.”
Police Officer 2 Nonoy Labrador said that Waga died while being treated in a hospital where Lagudin, who suffered serious injuries, was also brought.
