The emergency rooms of the Dario Contreras and the Ney Arias Lora Hospitals are quite busy these days with an ever-increasing number of traffic accident victims. During the months of January, February and so far this month of March, the emergency rooms at the Dario Contreras Hospital have treated 2,495 victims of accidents, most of which involve motorcycles. The Ney Arias Lora Trauma Hospital has treated 663 accident victims during the same period. According to Listin Diario, the ages range between 15 and 65 but the most serious injuries affect people aged between 14 and 35. Motorcycle accident victims totaled more than 1,500 during the first quarter while victims of accidents involving other vehicles numbered 880.
Most victims were from the south and east, and there is also apparently a new wave of trauma victims coming directly from Haiti. Furthermore, the highway between Bani and Azua has become "an asphalt coffin".
