But as motorcycle rider Karl Dagus said, the incident occurred around 3 a.m. – the witching hour.
His helmet had a camera that recorded his travel.
Dagus said during his interview at the GMA Regional TV One Mindanao that he, along with his passenger or co-rider, were traversing the national highway at the Gusa Village in Cagayan de Oro City.
