Two separate incidents in Arroyo Vuelta, a short stretch of highway between the Piedra Blanca crossroads and La Cumbre on the Duarte Highway that links Santo Domingo with Santiago, led to a 13-vehicle pile-up early Saturday morning in which 14 people were injured. As has happened before, the crash involved a truck that swerved to avoid another vehicle that tipped over on the highway. This truck then struck an SUV and yet another large vehicle. This happened at about 7am and, as usual in these circumstances, a long line of vehicles formed behind the accident. At around 10am another very large semi, loaded with cement and authorized by the police to go through, met another row of cars head-on as they tried to go in the other direction. The very heavy tractor trailer destroyed everything it hit. The injured were sent to the Dario Contreras hospital, the Plaza de la Salud and the public hospital in Bonao.
