Jake’s mother, Rachel Leveriza, sent a text message to Star Magic giving an update on the actor’s condition according to a report by PEP. She confirmed that the accident happened this morning and said, “He was biking when the truck in front stopped. He was not able to brake in in time. Rachel said Jake has a “stitched wound under his chin and two fractures in his right hand that will need surgery.”
The report also says Jake’s father, Juan Tomas Cuenca, says his son will be doing more tests to find out if there are more damages from the accident.

You cannot blame the truck driver because he (Jake) was the one who hit the truck.” Jake’s father added that this was a lesson for his son to be more careful next time.
