Over the last three months, 49 members of the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) have been injured in traffic accidents, hit by drivers after breaking Traffic Law 241. The agents were hurt while directing traffic on the avenues of Santo Domingo and in other cities in the country, according to a press release from the AMET Public Relations Office. The note points out that some drivers who were ordered to stop after breaking traffic laws, "instead of stopping, decided to run over the AMET officer and flee." There were 21 incidents in August, 18 in September and 10 so far this month.
