Rescuers treated the three injured passengers of the jeep and extracted, with difficulty, jeepney driver Vicente Baluyan as he could not move his leg.

Baluyan was attached to an oxygen tank to help him breathe.
The driver of the van, Alberto Dayuda, said he did not notice Baluyan's jeep parked along the intersection of España as he was heading for Antipolo Street in Sampaloc.
Baluyan was supposedly parked at the intersection before the collision happened.
Dayuda complained of dizziness and a stomach injury after the accident. —Rie Takumi/KG, GMA News
