DFA condoles with kin of Filipino women killed in California car crash

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Wednesday expressed its condolences to the families of two Filipino women who died in a car crash in Palmdale, California over the weekend.

The Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles said was coordinating with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office, which it expected to release details of the car crash.

The women, both in their 60s, were killed as their vehicle crashed into a construction truck on 14 Freeway near Palmdale Boulevard early Saturday morning, according to a report submitted to Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano by Consul General Adel Angelito Cruz.

Cruz assured the families of the women that the government would extend the necessary assistance to them. /atm
