Richard Gutierrez was injured early Friday in a car accident that also killed his assistant, according to a television report.

Gutierrez's assistant whom Lalin identified as Nomar, died in the accident.

PO1 Bonifacio Tañola of the Cavite police said the accident occurred at 1:20 a.m. at an accident-prone at the Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road in Puting Kahoy village in Silang town in Cavite.

“Bale bumangga po sa poste, malalim ang lugar na binagsakan niya. Medyo may bangin at bumangga sa puno ng niyog [Gutierrez’s car hit a post and fell into a deep ravine, and hit a coconut tree]," Tañola said in an interview on dzBB radio.

He was the one driving the Nissan Skyline GTR sports car.

Tañola said the area where the mishap took place is “accident-prone" as it is near a blind curve. He said there have been complaints that there are no lights or safety barriers on that part of the road

we always hit that road when going to tagaytay and batangas and my bf is already familiar in every spot & curve but he still drives safely and alert.
