Before I saw the videos, I was already betting the truck driver was at fault. They are, bar none, the most reckless drivers in a country that is full of reckless drivers. How could he not possibly see that traffic was backed up and moving slowly? I'm sure it was way overloaded and the brakes next to useless.

Stay away from Haina/San Cristobal today
I bet he was checking his phone. Although shocking, events like these do not surprise me much and that is sad to conclude.
Alcohol.
Drugs.
Faulty Equipment.
Unqualified Driver.
Speeding
Reckless Behavior.
Improper Training.
Carelessness.
Cell Phone.
No Respect for fellow drivers.
Macho Attitude.
Feel free to add to the list of reasons why do not drive in this country.
Sad. The people in the bus were not driving either.
As every time we're on the road, my dear wife kindly puts it when she sees a truck: Stay far away, they are big, know this, do what they want and were born without any brains...
I have never had any respect towards truck drivers in the DR... And now this thread did not really help this... RIP all the victims...
When my father-in-law was in his 20s, he used to drive a carrito in the capital (this was before he saved up a lot and put up his own company in POP), that was enough traffic for him, has not driven anything motorized for 30+ years... My wife says he is in fact afraid of driving... I have a huge respect for him...
RIP. Perhaps AMET should focus more on trucks and truck drivers than pointing speed guns on the highway. I´d rather drive myself than jump in a Voladora.
Motos with a death wish at every possible angle.
Lack of proper traffic infrastructure.
Lack of consequences for traffic violations.
I feel more vulnerable in a guagua than driving myself. The saddest part is that this is the only option for many Dominicans. The country wouldn't function without the guaguas or the people who rely on them every day.
It’s sad every time this happens.
The people in cars on the road were lucky. Not so much the woman who was waiting and got onto the bus.
that might be the craziest thing I have heard about at a crash scene.In case you thought I was kidding in Post #10

Stock, they need YOU, sir! You can help solve the problems. Of course you may have to take a vacation day or two from your 2 for 1 highball happy hours at Mojito BarThat's really going to help!
They still can't account for the bus driver. They think he may still be in the dirt.
