According to police investigators, the jeep was going down a sloping portion of the road when it suffered a mechanical failure. The driver lost control of the jeep's brakes and steering wheel causing it to slide down a 250-meter ravine.
The injured were immediately brought by responders and rescuers to the Benguet General Hospital which is located in the nearby town of La Trinidad. Attending physicians decided to have them confined in the hospital so that they will be observed if they suffered any other injuries like internal bleeding.

2. Noven Andress Segundo, 25 years old
3. Claro Kigas Cato, 43 years old
