Three people died after an elf truck they were riding fell off a cliff and plunged into the Chico River in Barangay Tocucan, Bontoc, Mountain Province, morning on Monday, October 27, 2025.
Authorities said the truck first hit two parked vehicles before it fell about 150 to 170 meters into the ravine and ended up in the river.
Search, rescue, and retrieval operations continue for the two other missing victims.
The five victims, all construction workers, were on their way to a project site in Kuro-Kuro, Sadanga when the accident happened. Four of them were reportedly from Pangasinan.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement as operations and investigation remain ongoing.
