According to her, the Narvacan vice mayor was involved in a motorcycle accident at Brgy. Langlangca 2nd, Candon City Ilocos Sur.

The pedestrian who was taken to Candon General Hospital was declared Dead On Arrival (DOA).
Vice Mayor Joseph Tejada was reportedly in shock and visibly distressed about the pedestrian’s condition when he surrendered to Candon City Police Station.
As a result of his overwhelming emotions, he had difficulty breathing and collapsed at the police station.
PNP officers rushed Tejada to St. Martin de Porres Hospital for treatment. Despite resuscitation attempts, he did not survive.
Joseph Tejada passed away due to Cardiac Arrest secondary to Cardiac Arrythmia.
Meanwhile, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur first announced his death on its official Facebook page.
