Stay away from Haina/San Cristobal today

[JD Jones]

There was a serious accident with a bus and a tractor-trailer on Carr. Sanchez has traffic backed up. Both Carr. Sanchez and Nov 6 Autopista is affected by heavy traffic that is backed up.

The accident happened this morning at 8 am when the tractor-trailer loaded with cement rear-ended a bus that pushed it into a ravine after which the tractor-trailer landed on top of the bus.

The rescue folks have their hands full trying to get rubberneckers out of the way so they can work on rescuing the victim.

It's a big mess at the moment.

Es de la ruta 66 de Quita Sueño el minibús aplastado por una patana

Los organismos de socorro están tratando de que las decenas de curiosos se alejen del lugar para mayor eficacia en las labores de rescate, en el siniestro ocurrido en Quita Sueño de Haina

I think I heard 5 dead so far. 1 is a baby. Many still trapped.

JD where is ruta 66? A section of Carr. Sánchez? Is it near the intersection with the circunvalicion?

 

[Notengo]

Just above Haina harbour and just before the connection to nov6.

In the US I have seen huge screens that the rescue people put up to screen off the site of an accident. I don't know why they don't have these in DR, and surely they should have the police there to shoo people away. What is the fascination with seeing corpses extracted from a crash?

7 dead , more trapped. Cement truck vs bus.

Worst I've seen in a long time. Can't even make out what type of bus it was.
From now until the end of Semana Santa...
tis the season.
RIP.

Does anyone know where this bus was headed?

Looks as if they were giving away free bottles of rum

Unfucking believable!

That truck was coming so fast, obviously the driver didn't bother or care to see that the bus was barely moving...SMH. Horrible...

Talking about kinetic energy. Now imagine that truck falling on that bus moving that fast.

With the truck and the driver being the gun, the Squid Game has nothing on how these poor souls were killed.

One can't help but thinking that everything is wrong on those videos.......

Traffic slows down, nobody puts their warning lights on ✔️

Guagua stops for passengers half on the road, half off, on a 4 lane road, no less ✔️

Lorry comes barreling down, not realizing the traffic backed up, probably overloaded and with brakes from the past century ✔️

El escenario ha sido aprovechado por decenas de residentes del lugar de Quita Sueño, que con cubetas, sacos y otros utensilios se han sumergido como buzos para recoger cemento
