At least five people were killed and many more were injured when a truck and a small van full of political activists collided near the El Soco River bridge between La Romana and San Pedro de Macoris. Newspaper reports vary, but it appears that the van driver was driving carelessly. At least twenty other passengers were reported injured. The passengers were on their way to a political rally in San Pedro de Macoris in support of President Fernandez's re-election. Meanwhile, a tragic shooting incident took place during political activity in the town of Vicente Noble. A 15-year old girl was killed by a stray bullet as PLD and PRD supporters clashed in the streets. At least four other people were injured in the melee, including two children. The chief of police has launched an in-depth investigation into the incident.
