The Centro Nacional de Transportista Unificado (CNTU) held a “Crusade for Life” this past Sunday to raise awareness about the unfortunate traffic accidents that threaten the lives of Dominicans.
The guild president, Williams Perez Figuereo, expressed his regret for the daily deaths due to automobile crashes.
“I regret the drama that family members have to live through when one of their members dies or becomes bedridden as a result of this circumstance.”

He added that 2 percent of the Dominican State’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is invested in covering damages generated by traffic accidents.
“It is distressing that 2% of the Gross Domestic Product is being invested in damages caused by accidents,” Figuereo emphasized.
Finally, Figuereo stated that educating drivers and transforming traditional vehicles into electric ones are measures to eradicate motorcyclist accidents.
The crusade was held in La Lira Park on Abraham Lincoln Avenue in the National District.
