Arvin "Tado" Jimenez was among the 14 people killed when the Florida bus with plate number TXT 872 fell off the 500-meter deep ravine at around 7:20 a.m, said Police Sr. Inspector Benjamin Chaloy in an ABS-CBN interview.
Four passengers are still missing as of this writing, while the injured were brought to the Bontoc General Hospital and Luis Hora Hospital.
