No traffic deaths over weekend

[NewsWhore]

In what one would hope to be a harbinger for the future, the Ministry of Public Health reported that there had been no traffic-related deaths over this last long weekend break. Monday 21st January was the Day of Our Lady of Altagracia, traditionally a date when many Dominican Catholics make a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady in Higuey. Dr. Juan Rodriguez Espinal from the ministry's Emergency and Disaster Department told reporters that especially in the east, where Higuey is located, there were no traffic deaths. The ministry set up a Mobile Operations Center at the Basilica in Higuey to deal with accidents and promote driver awareness.
