Staff at the Philippine Consulate said late in the afternoon
that they had not yet received any information about the accident.
Eyewitnesses said the wayward car was a Jaguar sport utility
vehicle.
The wayward vehicle was reportedly being driven out of the carpark
when it bumped into the car of Midriano’s employer, injuring the helper who was
cleaning the vehicle at the time.
Photos of the accident were circulated on social media by a
user identified as “Jeffrey” by other netizens.
The post said: “Kawawa naman si kabayan, nag ka car wash
lang inabutan pa ng nag malfunction na Jaguar. Happened (on) Broadwood Road
One of the photos showed the victim lying on the carpark lot
with an overturned pail beside her, and some dark liquid spilled on the floor
beside her. A female security staff of the estate was standing guard while
apparently awaiting the arrival of police and paramedics.
Other photos showed a red Jaguar SUV with a wrecked fender
and hood, while an adjacent white car is shown also with a dented hood. Another
photo showed paramedics surrounding the Filipina on the ground, apparently just
before she was driven away to the hospital.
