A massive accident involving twelve cars on the Duarte Highway just past Piedra Blanca resulted in four injured and tied up traffic for hours. The accident occurred at the "Arroyo Vuelta Curve", about two kilometers south of the Piedra Blanca crossroads. According to witnesses, the whole thing happened because a large group of curious onlookers were gathered round a minor accident that had occurred when a pickup truck lost a wheel and slid across the highway. At that moment a large semi tractor-trailer coming from San Pedro de Macoris came around the curve and found itself hard upon the curious drivers who had either stopped or were crawling along the highway. The semi tried to brake but ended up plowing into the line of vehicles, causing a chain reaction. The trailer tipped over, spewing cement bags across the roadway. Many of the vehicles were totaled and had to be towed to the Highway Patrol compound at La Cumbre.
