3am-5am?
Not a good time to be driving anywhere in this country.
Nice to read no one was killed.

While I was living in Gurabo, about once month a car would lose control
on Luperon around the Masters Plaza area and cause damage to surrounding cars
and property. Absolute muppets!

Because the Gov doesn't crush the sindico's (mafia) those drivers will be back on the streets on Monday.
Give me one term as El Presidente and they are gone (there would also be some really fat sharks swimming around the seas).
