Tragic..........I am saddened.

This is terrible, to put it mildly!! If the guy was drunk, give him a life sentence...with hard labor!

@ NYGuy35 really thats the best you could come up with shame shame shame shame on you

Probably the driver had to do something important like talk with his celular phone or look to a chick walking on the other side.
And unfortuately NYGuy35 wasn't there at the bus stop - stupid racist idiot.

@NYGUY I was involved in a fatal accident where I accidentally someone who was j walking on 2 month ago seen the pain I've caused on this person family and I not able to have a decent sleep since. reading your comment brother I hope you never have to go through that ...

^^^^4****s

NYGuy35,=6------s

Drunk drivers who kill, should be given the death penalty.!!!!

His dilemma will all play out based on how much money he has and is willing to pay, period.

Tragic. That is exactly why the ENTIRE transportation system needs to overhauled. Smh

NYGuy35 you're an embarrassement to the good people of New York.
Every life is sacred under the eyes of God.
Who the f<*k are you to speak for latinos regarding this tragedy.
My sincere condolence to all the families who lost their love ones at that bus stop.
May they all rest in peace.

NYGuy F*** you haitian

NYgay35, I hope you drop dead. You stupid puke faced moron. So-called S

So called Dominicans of Spanish descent, you ignorant jackass? You really wanna go there, pendejo? Juan Luis Guerra, Amelia Vega, Hipolito Mejia, Luis Manuel Aguilo, mi abuelita Dona Consuelo. As white and as Spanish as they come dummy.

This is my third day driving since I got back here. Free Dominican driver wants to kill anybody in front of them and that includes everybody behind the wheel of a publico. Yo casually drive the wrong way up a 1 way street that only has room for 1 vehicle and it's like you don't even know there's other people in the world. Apparently Dominicans think life is so bad that we should all just die for someone's convenience.

Lots of accusations flying without one bit of evidence.

The only thing we know is that some of the locals reacted violently, attacked the individual, destroyed private & PUBLIC property without the right or cause.

Shame.

I agree with AC in this instance.

The driver should be tried and in found guilty on the basis of evidence, given an appropriate sentence. Had he not been arrested the barbaric local lynch-mob may have torched the SUV with the driver licked inside. No mention of arresting any of the lynch mob, and apart from AC, no condemnation here.

No wonder this failed state is a lawless backwater.

cheyenneasanti,
preaches
"Every life is sacred under the eyes of God."
Really?
Is that why, in His divine mercy, sends earthquakes, plagues, famines, floods, volcanoes and tsunamis, and insights hatred, violence and wars?

as tragic as this or any event is , whether it involves me personaly or not, i find the best thing i can do is to think of something good about it. or something GOOD in it. it's a GOOD thing it was only 6 and not 8, 10, or 12. it's a GOOD thing the police have him in custody, and he is not dealt with by the people that torched his SUV. it,s a GOOD thing that some people involved will learn something GOOD from this.i can think of manny GOOD things that can come from this. THE REAL TRADGIDY is that it happend, didnt have to but it did. this certanly will affect manny people close to those involved. i hope they find something good.

Curios1, sorry but I must disagree. Six people died and two others are in the hospital fighting for their lives! There's nothing "good" about this tragedy.
This being the DR, means nothing will be learned and nothing will be done to prevent future repeats of such a horrendous loss of life.
I'm very sorry for the families of the deceased and hope that they, somehow, manage to go on without their loved ones. This is one that's very hard to take. I know it from experience....Alas!

God doesnt create natural events. Nature does, God doesn't pollute man does. So stop blaming God for adversity he ain't responsible for.

Yucahu,
What strange God do you believe in? Certainly not the Christian one, as defined in the Holy Buybull.

ron i agree with you. i am not saying or implying this is any thing GOOD. there IS nothing good about it . but there are good things that can be because of it. my hart also goes out to those involved and close to victems. i disagree with you, on it being the DR so nothing will be learned. with out giving lenthy details i too have been involved in tradgic events that have taken the lives of people. even when it's not you fault you will be changed forever. . i have also seen pepole hangon and stay focused to the negative side of something till it drags them down to a place that is dificult to return from. (been there) i am not trying to sound or be cold. it has just been my experience that when the crap in my life hits the fan, the sooner i find something good. IN IT OR OF IT. moveing forward is eisier and faster. i find that those who practice that way of thinking are farther ahead and better off, and much more pleasant to be around or converse with.

tradgidy happens in every ones life. it's part of what builds ower charecter. right here on these fourums we see the results . of past events in peoples life. you dont need to know what my events where, niether I yours. ower presant day thought s and actions are built on past experiences GOOD OR BAD. if i affended anyone MY APOLOGIES, and if so i will find something good in it and move on.

Where in this message does it states that the driver was drunk? Accidents do happen, furthermore, they happen all over the world. Even in your ( although I doubt if this counts for everyone ) country.

small correction after reading article in enteraterd.com

Accidents caused by drunk people do not relate to the above remark.

FromB,
Have you ever been to the Dominican Republic?
Yes, "accidents" happen all over the world, but few countries have a death and injury rate as high as here. No, the article does not state the diver was drunk. It does not state he has two legs either, however based on probability, both are highly likely. Driving while intoxicated is considered a fundamental human right in this lawless country.

RoyStone,

Yes, I have been there once or more, for the last 15 years. My wife is domininican etc....

Your "rates" are based on what? compared to what? If compared with Alaska or Greenland...

If you are talking about homicides, yes the rate is high / 1000, however if you talk about natural, accidents etc.. than the rate is half the rate as for France, Belgium and Australia.

I know that the country and local customs can use a lot of improvement etc. I am not blind.
But still it is no Afganistan, Pakistan or any Central-African country.

And, not that nobody I know doesn't do it, none of my relatives ( in law ) over there ( and they are with many ) are supporting driving and drinking.

Curious1, I heard you loud and clear. Tragedies are naturally horrific and there are no silver lining that I'm aware of. But they can be prevented. It simply takes laws with teeth, common sense, and in this case, sensible traffic guiding infrastructure that helps in the avoidance of such calamities.
However, none of the above makes any difference if the culprit was totally wasted, which seems to be the case.
I hear you about not holding on to the past, and moving on... Problem is, unless it happened to you, there's no way to explain or quantify the pain felt inside that does not go away, no matter what we do to alleviate it, no matter the time.....
