A public transportation vehicle carrying hotel workers veered off course and crashed in the eastern Dominican Republic on Sunday, resulting in multiple casualties. The incident occurred near the entrance to Anamuya, a coastal town within the province of La Altagracia, a region renowned for its tourism infrastructure.
According to preliminary investigations by local authorities, the commercial bus was navigating a sharp curve when the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle. This loss of control precipitated a collision with a large roadside advertising billboard. The impact caused significant damage to the front section of the bus.
Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene to provide medical assistance and transport the injured to nearby medical facilities. While official sources have not released a finalized count of those harmed or their specific conditions, initial reports confirm that all passengers were employees of local hospitality establishments concluding their work shifts. The investigation into the precise cause of the accident, including potential factors like mechanical failure or road conditions, remains ongoing as authorities work to notify the victims’ families.
