The rain and a safety reminder about the roads.
Viva La Vega:
It's pissing down and the roads in the province are f--ked. Looked like a river crossing the highway by the Texaco and there is a low bridge near La Union that the water is running over. I am sure the streets in El Batey are all ankle deep in filthy water. Go buy some wellingtons, a slicker, and a sturdy umbrella.
A sad note, a Canadian who lived in Hispanola and rode a motorcycle was killed instantly on the highway Sunday when a car passing vehicles at a very high rate of speed hit him head on near Montellano.
The roads really are dangerous as f--k and you need to give your head a shake about renting a moto or an ATV to ride on the road.

ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT ACC1DENT3 THAT LAST SUNDAY COVERED THE VID4 OF CANADIAN NATIONAL RESIDENT IN SOSUA.
In Montellano in the afternoon of last Sunday an appalling accident was registered at the entrance to the Bergantín project, taking the life of a male person
An audiovisual recorded by a citizen who claimed to have witnessed the accident shows when the driver of the car involved in the incident walks out with a long gun in his hands pointing around him, which drew attention behind the rumor that immediately ordered an investigation to help to clear the fact up.
The victim was identified as the 71-year-old Canadian national David Goldon Knight, a resident of the La Hispaniola tourist project in the tourist municipality of Sosua, as it was known.
A witness who claims to have been at the scene at the time of the accident indicated that the accident occurred at a time when the driver of the vehicle at very high speed performed a overpass without realizing that the victim was coming aboard a motorcycle to impacted head-on in the corresponding lane, which is checked by an audiovisual recorded minutes after the fact occurred, where it is observed that the vehicle remained in the opposite lane in the direction of Puerto Plata Sosúa, the same motorcycle and lifeless body of the driver of this, from where it is unequivocally concluded that the fault is on the driver of the vehicle identified as Dounel Enrique Perez Nin 63 years old from Duverge, as indicated by the witness who witnessed the appalling accident.
Widening the investigations Behind the rumor obtained a third video where it shows Perez Nin delivering a rifle-type weapon, from where it is presumed to have pulled the weapon may have been to protect himself from possible aggressions that arise by relatives, friends or individuals, when it is they produce events of this type.
The driver of the vehicle was kept in police custody last Sunday afternoon to be brought to justice, while authorities from POLITUR, National Police, DIGESETT, Fire Brigade, Air Force, among others waited an hour after the accident occurred for the arrival of authorities competent for the dead body lifting.

No, my understanding is that this was an uncommon event. Some of the old timer expats are saying online that this was the heaviest rainfall they’ve ever seen.
