Dominican Republic: Caribe Tours bus plunges off the road



A Caribe Tours bus full of passengers crashed Monday afternoon off the Yamí Bridge, of Bayacanes, on the road from Jarabacoa to La Vega, and so far it is unknown if there are dead or wounded. 

The unfortunate incident occurred close to 4:00 PM in the afternoon.  The health status of the driver and the passengers is unknown.  Members of the fire department, the  Civil Defense, and authorities from La Vega have moved to the site to aid the occupants of the bus which was travelling from Jarabacoa to Santo Domingo.



According to reports, the driver lost control of the vehicle in the curve known as El Recodo, plunging  into a river.

As it turned out, those who were on board the bus were returning from a stay in Jarabacoa, taking advantage of the long holiday weekend.  (Read the article in Spanish here)
