Santo Domingo.- Four people died, two of them from gunfire and the rest on injuries during a hot pursuit that ended in accident in the same place Tuesday in the Las Americas Highway’s lateral avenue.

Preliminary reports said two of the deceased in a SUV with official license plate and were fired on around 20 times; a third victim was a passenger of a pickup truck, which collided when the first crashed against the median, while the fourth is reportedly the driver of the pickup truck who died en route to the Darío Contreras hospital.

Three of the bodies were still at the scene as of 15am, as well as the bullet-riddled Ford SUV, plate 0-C02798, which collided with the median.

More information as available.

This story is to brief to make heads or tail of it.

Shades of MIAMI in the 1980s....when expensive cars would have rolling gun battles late at night on I-95. WANNA KNOW WHAT'S NEXT? Watch "Scarface" over and over -- "Say hello to my little friend"!!

Roy .... it clearly says the accident ended in the same place at 15am ... obviously 15am suggests the incident happened betweem 1am and 5am during the early morning hours ... or perhaps more obviously, there were in fact two incidents that happened in the exact same place, the first one at 1am which might have been the accident and then a second incident at 5am when there was gunfire ... or maybe the translation madness this website continually offers up is a deliberate failure of DT to actually present the news ...

I enjoy the blogs but the news coverage is loco ...

Ditto!.....I think 15am. may be refering to "15 hundred hours", which will put it at 3am?

According to other reports ..this report on DT is very inaccurate ..the official plates had been stolen some time ago ,the shots were fired from a blue Honda accord and a third vehicle , a small pick up that was an innocent party and which was struck by the SUV after it hit the concrete barrier killed the two people in it .
Yes there must be some way of improving the reliability of some of the stories here

Ricardolito,
Agreed, especially when the real story is just as interesting if not more. Thanks for the corrections.

Sadly, it appears that the fact of innocent people getting killed is genuine. My condolences to the families who are now grieving.
