CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna – Three persons died and two others were injured when a passenger bus and an Asian utility vehicle-type jeep collided along the national highway in Tagkawayan, Quezon last Monday afternoon, police said.

Inspector Geminiano Danez, Tagkawayan police chief, identified the fatalities as jeep driver Erwin Ramos, 27; Erlinda Realino, 54; and Ricardo Decena, 52, all residents of Taytay, Rizal.

Danez said Ramos and Realino died on the spot, while Decena passed away while being treated at the Tagkawayan Memorial Hospital.

A certain Arman Realino and Romeo Ilocario sustained cuts and bruises on different parts of their bodies.

Police said a passenger bus of PP Bus Lines driven by one Redentor Pana smashed head-on into the jeep at around 4 p.m. along the Quirino Highway in Barangay San Francisco, Tagkawayan town.

The strong impact threw the jeep a few meters away, hitting the house of one Romeo Ilocario, who suffered injuries on his arms.

Pana escaped after the incident but later gave himself up to the local police.
