A National Police truck crashed on the road between Sosúa and Montellano in Puerto Plata, injuring at least 16 people. The vehicle, which was transporting individuals under custody, struck a concrete electrical pole near the Gregorio Luperón International Airport and the Air Force Base.
The injured include the driver, Carey Eusebio, two members of the Dominican Air Force, six police officers, and eight civilians. While civilians were taken to the Ricardo Limardo University Regional Hospital, the officers were transported to various private medical centers.
