November 24, 2008 | 12:00am

SANTA, Ilocos Sur – A hospital director was the lone survivor in a van-bus collision here early last Saturday that claimed the lives of four people, including a child.

Dr. Glenn Battad, director of the St. James Hospital in Vigan City, suffered only minor injuries but lost his mother Felicisima and his adopted son Gabriel in the accident.

Also killed were an unidentified medical sales representative who was driving the van and Gabriel’s yaya named Inday.

Police said the van was on its way to Vigan from Manila when it rammed into a bus of the Partas Transportation Co. along the national highway in Barangay Namalangan here. – Teddy Molina
