Monday afternoon, while they were making their way back to Santo Domingo to fly back to Puerto Rico, a bus overturned killing the driver and injuring 20 children on the La Cienaga-Manabao highway, near Jarabacoa. The bus slid down a precipice along the mountain road. The 20 children were returning from an excursion up the Pico Duarte mountain, the highest point in the Caribbean. They are part of troop 1167 of Caguas, Puerto Rico. They had traveled to the DR for their Easter holiday. The group received initial medical attention in La Vega and later was taken to the Hospital Jos? Mar?a Cabral y B?ez in Santiago, half an hour away. Several children are badly injured.
