Biboy just walked away from the scene - walking and walking, aimlessly, as if his feet were moving on their own.
Meanwhile, back at Biboy's home, news of the gruesome accident reached his family. His mother was in complete shock. A wave of weakness overtook her, and she felt an unbearable coldness seep into her body. "Why is this happening?" she kept asking herself, unable to comprehend the tragedy. Her daughter urged her to go to the scene, but she couldn't move. Her body refused.
For a few moments, she sat frozen, drowning in an unexplainable mix of fear and pain. But then, something inside her shifted. She stood up, gathering all her strength. She had to see for herself, even if she knew it wouldn't be easy.
The accident had happened on the main highway - infamously known as the "Killer Highway." Many lives had been lost there due to the dangers of high-speed vehicles. In her heart, she braced herself for the worst, preparing for the possibility that her son might not have survived.
When they arrived at the scene, a crowd had already gathered. Onlookers and bystanders filled the area, eager to witness the aftermath of yet another tragedy. But for a mother who had already suffered loss, nothing could stop her from reaching her son. Pushing through the crowd, she moved forward, brushing people aside like blades of grass.
The police tried to stop her at first, but when they realized she was the mother of one of the victims, they let her through to identify her son.
The first body she saw was Melvs. She barely had time to process the sight before moving on to the next. Then, she saw Joe. The moment her eyes landed on him, an unbearable discomfort settled in her chest. Her knees grew weak, and the horrifying realization of what had happened became too much to bear. She didn't want to see any more. She couldn't accept it.
Her son's brother stayed by her side to support her while her daughters continued searching for Biboy's body. But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find him.
Frantically, they turned to the police for answers. But all the authorities could provide were details of the accident, as told by witnesses who had seen everything unfold.
A witness stepped forward, recounting the terrifying sequence of events. He explained that as the vehicle spun out of control, the first two to be ejected were Melvs and Biboy, who had been riding on top.
Melvs had slammed face-first into a container van attached to a 16-wheeler truck, which explained why his face had been flattened beyond recognition. Joe, on the other hand, was still alive when he was thrown from the tricycle.
But then came the grim reality of the "Killer Highway."
It wasn't just the road itself that was deadly - it was the unspoken protocol among truck drivers. The witness explained that if a truck was involved in an accident, drivers were expected to ensure that the victim was completely dead. The reason? If a victim survived, the company would be responsible for medical expenses, which could cost them a fortune. But if the victim died, a financial settlement with the family would often be arranged instead.
Joe had still been crawling, struggling to survive. But the truck driver saw him. And following the cold, ruthless protocol, he backed up - making sure Joe would never see the light of day again. That explained the gruesome head injury that caused the blood to gush out.
Then, the witness described what happened to Biboy.
As the tricycle spun, Biboy's hand got caught on a metal bar he had been holding onto, but he was still ejected from the vehicle. The witness said Biboy was the luckiest one among them. He had landed right in the middle of a 16-wheeler truck coming from behind.
The massive back tires threatened to pull him under, but by some miracle, the movement of the truck's front tires somehow pushed him forward instead of crushing him. He rolled and rolled along the pavement, and just as his body came to a stop, the truck stopped as well.
Unlike the driver who killed Joe, this truck driver didn't follow the unspoken rule.
Biboy had survived.
