A single engine Cesna 152 crashed on Sunday in Santiago, killing its two occupants. The pilot, 31-year-old Richard Ruben Alba López and his brother-in-law 22-year old Juan Vargas died shortly after the crash. The airplane was totaled after crashing into an apartment building in the Villa Olímpica area of Santiago, the second largest city in the DR. The two had been contracted to distribute PRD promotional campaign flyers during the PRD closing congregation in that city. The apartment building suffered structural damages, but no one else was injured. The airplane was the property of the Aeroclub Quisqueya of the Aeropuerto Internacional Cibao.
