“The accident occurred due to a sharp maneuver and rebuilding of a freight vehicle in front of a tourist bus. The bus driver was forced to make a sharp braking to avoid a collision, ”said Valeria Ferafontova, the organization’s representative, to TASS.

According to her, representatives of the agency are in all three hospitals that took the victims.

Earlier in the Dominican Republic, a bus with Russians collided with a truck and rolled over. According to the Russian Embassy, ​​none of the 39 tourists died, but some received various injuries.

The Russians, who are in serious condition, were hospitalized by helicopters in medical centers in Santo Domingo, where they undergo emergency surgery.
