    How could George be overtaking if he was coming up the other direction? Get your facts straight before you comment.

    Hope no serious injuries, or deaths. Stay safe Dominicans. Life is short, enjoy, not to be too much in a rush. If your have seatbelts, please take advantage of it. It might save your lives. No texting or other unwanted distractions. When u are on the road, stay attentive, because the life us save might be yours.
