SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: At least 11 people died and over 70 were injured Thursday when two buses carrying tourism workers collided on a road between two resort towns in the eastern Dominican Republic. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the buses were carrying employees of the Paradisus Punta Cana Resort and the Coco Bongo nightclub when the collision occurred at dawn on the road between Higuey and Veron. Authority spokesman Diego Pesqueira said the number of fatalities could increase 'because we still have many injured in various hospitals and some are serious.'
