San Pedro de Macorís, March 12, 2025 — A devastating road accident claimed the life of a woman on the afternoon of March 12 on the Eastern Highway, near kilometer 10 in the Cumayasa area, casting a somber shadow over the San Pedro de Macorís community.

The victim has been identified as Ruth Delania Sosa Marte, a resident of the Barrio Lindo sector in San Pedro de Macorís. According to preliminary reports, she was one of three occupants traveling in a gray Mazda Demio when the vehicle was involved in a serious collision while heading east to west along the highway.

The car was reportedly driven by Ángela Merici Ubiera Sosa, who was accompanied by Maribel Sosa Polanco and the late Ruth Sosa. The circumstances leading to the crash remain under investigation by local authorities, though eyewitnesses suggest that the vehicle may have lost control before veering off the road. The exact cause—whether mechanical failure, driver error, or hazardous road conditions—has not yet been officially confirmed.

Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene. Ruth Sosa was pronounced dead on site due to the severity of her injuries. The two other women sustained various injuries and were immediately transported to Villa Hermosa Hospital in La Romana for emergency treatment. Their current conditions have not been publicly disclosed, but hospital sources have confirmed that both were stabilized upon arrival.

The news of Ruth Sosa’s untimely death has sent shockwaves through her community. Friends, family, and neighbors in Barrio Lindo expressed their grief and disbelief, remembering her as a kind, hardworking, and beloved individual. Social media has since been flooded with messages of condolences and tributes to her life.

“She was a beautiful soul, always willing to help others,” said one neighbor. “It’s heartbreaking to lose someone so full of life in such a sudden and tragic way.”

Local traffic authorities have urged caution to all motorists traveling along the Eastern Highway, a stretch known for its heavy traffic and past incidents. Investigators from the National Traffic Safety Agency (Dirección General de Seguridad de Tránsito y Transporte Terrestre – Digesett) have cordoned off the crash site for forensic examination and to reconstruct the events leading up to the accident.

Meanwhile, family members are coordinating funeral arrangements, and community leaders are organizing a small vigil in Ruth’s memory, scheduled to take place in her neighborhood later this week.

As the investigation continues, authorities are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident or has relevant dashcam footage to come forward and assist with inquiries.

This tragedy serves as a somber reminder of the importance of road safety and the unpredictable nature of life on the road. With communities grieving and survivors recovering, San Pedro de Macorís mourns the loss of one of its own.
