Traffic chaos affected many areas of Santo Domingo yesterday as a result of clashes between university students and police in and around the Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) campus. Students were protesting the eviction of street vendors located near the university and the recent suspicious murder of 22 year old law student Elvin Amable Rodriguez. Two students were injured. Students reportedly entered the premises throwing stones, teargas bombs, and birdshots at the police in charge of security. Diario Libre reports that the students started their demonstration at Alma Mater and Correa y Cidron streets. Chancellor Roberto Reyna warned the rioters that they could be subject to penalties. Redirected traffic caused lengthy jams along George Washington, Maximo Gomez, Independencia, Bolivar, 27 de Febrero, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and other avenues in the city, where it was reportedly taking up to two hours to get from the Colonial Zone to Bella Vista - four times longer than usual.
