Senior Inspector Rogelio Rillon of the Dinalupihan police said that 42 Aetas were on board the passenger jeepney.

The still unnamed driver of the FedEx truck and jeepney driver Edward Bayan were also taken to the Olongapo hospital for treatment.
Bayan suffered from head injury and had broken bones in the hip. He insisted that his vehicle had the right of way.
Police, meanwhile, said that judging from the damage on the jeepney, Bayan should be blamed for the accident.
Police added that once it establishes that Bayan was at fault, he will be charged with reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide and serious physical injuries.
Authorities, meanwhile, said that the portion of the Dinalupihan highway in Barangay Roosevelt in accident-prone. They said that accidents take place there almost on a weekly basis.
They advised motorists to exercise caution whenever passing through the area, especially if they are not familiar with the road's curves. With reports from Sheryll Mundo, ABS-CBN News and dzMM
