Worse has happened a number of times on the stretch between La Cienaga and Encuentro on rt 5 in Cabarete.
Do you remember that one where a family had attended a funeral for a relative and were all killed on the way back. That was on that stretch wasn't it

That detail I was not aware of. There is one about every 6 months on that part of the road across from El Rocon Beach to Encuentro. One recently with two cars, but I did not hear about the injuries, The most infamous was a recently signed baseball player and his girlfriend died when hitting a tree at over 100 MPH.

Moto riders seem to think everyone has eyes in the front and back of their head and sides too.
Here's a tip - assume the car has no idea you are there.
Also honking your friggin' horn does not absolve you of following the traffic rules, nor provide a protective halo around your cheap-ass Chinese Moto

He was from La Union. His name was Oscar Taveras and it happened during his rookie season with the St. Louis Cardinals.

His death impacted a lot of people however it did very little to stop the carnage on that notorious stretch of highway.

RIP
