Don’t drive at night on Las Americas
Journalist Felicia Mota and her daughter Alicia Morillo alerted against driving at night on the Las Americas Expressway that links the Las Americas International Airport and the city of Santo Domingo. She reports that unscrupulous persons continue to throw stones and other objects at the vehicles in the evening, in order to cause windshield breaks so the drivers stop, making them victims to robberies.
As reported, Mota said that she was a victim of the assailants when driving between La Ureña and La Caleta. She suspects the purpose was to force them to stop. “I got nervous and asked my daughter not to stop the vehicle because these criminals would rob us and I told her to keep going,” said Felicia Mota, who is a television producer.
Mota said that the seriousness of the case is that when she went to the insurance company for the damaged vehicle, she was told that hers was the 12th claim by clients who had suffered the same situation. She said that many are entire families returning from beach outings in the eastern part of the country.
While the new alert is for driving on Las Americas Expressway, the general advice is to avoid driving at night in the country.
