Second District Representative Roberto Cajes was an “unfortunate target of incorrect stories” of a road accident involving a sports utility vehicle registered to his daughter.
A story published last Sunday (not in the Chronicle) reported that the incumbent congressman and mayoralty candidate of Trinidad town survived the car crash in barangay Oy, Loboc after his driver lost control of the steering wheel.
The report continued that Rep. Cajes suffered contusions and limped as he got out of the wrecked vehicle after it smashed onto an electric post Friday last week.
The Chronicle reported that the vehicle, registered to Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) national president Jane Censoria Cajes, the solon’s daughter, was driven by one of the family’s personal drivers together with one of the congressman's police escorts who were on their way to Trinidad.
The police security detail was identified as PO2 Dante del Rosario Jr. who escaped unhurt from the road mishap. The solon’s driver, Richard Cerio however suffered injuries and was rushed to a hospital.
A furious Rep. Cajes yesterday challenged those who “concocted the malicious stories to a tennis match, a feat which any injured person could not do”.
“I am in Trinidad right now, and anybody who has doubts can see for themselves whether I am injured or not,” the solon remarked.
A Boholano blog-site over the internet also reported the incident which said that the congressman was critically injured and airlifted to a hospital in Cebu City. The website likewise revealed that several high-powered firearms were recovered from the wrecked vehicle of Cajes.
Based on the account of PO2 Del Rosario, they were on the way to Trinidad town from Tagbilaran City when the driver lost control of the steering wheel after he tried to avoid collision with another vehicle.
Del Rosario said the road was narrow and slippery which made it hard for the driver to maneuver away from the other vehicle.
They rammed into an electrical post at the roadside wrecking the SUV.
