Traffic accident on Sánchez Highway
Azua.- A tragic traffic accident early Tuesday morning on the Sánchez highway, between Azua and Baní, resulted in four fatalities and four injuries. The crash involved two SUVs: a gray Honda CRV and a white Hyundai Santa Fe.
The 911 system promptly coordinated emergency assistance, dispatching four ambulances to transport the injured—a 37-year-old woman, a 39-year-old woman, a 34-year-old man, and a 10-year-old girl—to various health centers. The 37-year-old woman suffered closed frontal trauma, severe pain in her right femur, and multiple lacerations. The 39-year-old woman had closed trauma to her hip, while the man sustained multiple traumas and lower back pain. Emergency responders, including the National Police, Digesett, and the Baní Fire Department, were involved in the operation.
Speed kills
Hitting something at high speed, yes. Speed alone does not kill. Someone going too slow can cause a major accident, if not moving with the flow of traffic.
