The old bridge that connects Ramon Santana with San Pedro de Macoris collapsed and fell into the river when a large truck hauling sugar cane attempted to cross. The bridge, built in 1915, had been repaired two years ago. Some 17 small communities were cut off from San Pedro as a result of its collapse. Among them were Concho Primo, Lechuga, Dominica, Osaro, Don Lilon and Cabeza de Toro. San Pedro de Macoris Fire Chief, Ramon Aparle, and the engineer from the Public Works Department, Pelagio Hernandez offered help, and told reporters that brigades from the ministry would be repairing the bridge.
