Bahong, La Trinidad – Two people were killed while 1 was injured when a Wrangler jeep plunged into a 10-meter ravine in Bahong, La Trinidad early morning of June 8, 2022.

Authorities said the victims were immediately ferried to the Benguet General Hospital by responding personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection-La Trinidad and La Trinidad Municipal Police Station but the two passengers of the vehicle were declared dead on arrival.

The casualties were identified as Cedric Wadsit, 25 and Rolly Quintino, 24.
