That makes a little more sense. The article doesnt mention it, but is common practice to state whether or not the driver was wearing a helmet? IT said the victims died of head trauma, but not if they wore helmets- they should include that info as it could help some get a clue - most often a helmet is used as a wrist guard.

ok, so they hit a vaca, right?
maybe they hit it after if fell off the side of motoconcho...
i saw once a very p***ed off goat (fully grown and pretty big) being sandwiched between a driver and a passenger of a motoconcho. a thought of an accident as such did not occur to me but i immediately had a vision of a said goat losing control of its orifices during the ride.

You'd think the cow would have served as cushion...It looks like THEY served as cushion to the cow instead.

Ok so how do you even get a cow on a moto??? Unbelieveable.

How do you get a pony in a car

I snickered as well at the headline... but as with many Dominican newspaper reports the first listed probably wasn't correct.

donP in post#7 gave what's likely the more accurate news links, that they ran into the cow. certainly something that can happen, even in a car at night with headlights on.

unfortunately, two dead... age 33 & 19. someone's sons, brothers, husbands, fathers...

A friend of mine hit a cow driving home to the capital from Juan Dolio. Completely destroyed his car & somehow he luckily walked away with no injuries. Middle of the night, locals arrived with machetes & the cow was carted off for next day's meal. Took longer for the tow truck to arrive.
