The Attorney General dismissed speculation that a crash involving the SUV in which trucker kingpin Blas Peralta was being transported from jail in Higuey to a hearing in Santo Domingo on Friday, 15 April 2016 was a bungled attempt to escape. One of the two vehicles transporting Peralta crashed into an SUV driven by 52-year old Ruddy Hernandez. Hernandez said he was driving to Las Americas International Airport. No injuries were reported.
Peralta, president of the National Federation of Dominican Transport (Fenatrado), the cartel that unites truck owners nationwide is in jail awaiting trial on charges of murdering former state university UASD rector Mateo Aquino Febrillet.
