Bataoil’s driver, Ruben Escobar, remained at the intensive care unit of the Villaflor General Hospital in Dagupan where they were all rushed after the accident, because of far more serious injuries.
Police officer Jim Evangelista, Bataoil’s security escort, is out of danger but remained confined at the Villaflor Hospital.
The driver of the Dagupan Bus, Bemmy Cainap of Bagong Silang, Quezon City, is now out of jail after posting bail.

The van was a complete wreck.
