Badly injured in an accident on the Coral motorway in the Dominican Republic. This is perhaps the main victory of local doctors. More than two dozen Russians are in the capital's hospital in Santo Domingo, some of whom remain in grave condition. All tourists were insured for 40 thousand euros, including transportation within the Dominican Republic and medical evacuation to Russia. The Federal Tourism Agency confirmed that tourists from the Dominican Republic will be returned to their homeland on an individual basis and depending on the recommendations of doctors. Those who were discharged first flew to Moscow.
The flight from the Dominican Republic to Moscow is 12 hours of summer, and people still have a hard time restraining their emotions.
"The bus is on its side," - this is how one of the victims described the situation.
“People were shocked. They couldn't even scream,” the woman says about what happened to the people immediately after the accident.
16 hours local time. It's light outside, no rain, no wind. The bus with 70 passengers, 39 of them Russians, who had finished their vacation, went to the airport. Suddenly - a powerful blow. The bus turned over on its side, the seat cushions were scattered along the highway. The truck driving in front of the bus was thrown far over the side of the road.
“I was driving from the airport. I looked: people from all sides were getting out of the bus through the roof,” says an eyewitness to the accident.
We managed to contact one of the victims: Anastasia Popova and her husband are now in a hospital in the Dominican Republic.
“They say I have a fractured spine. I can't walk, but my legs, arms, I feel everything,” she explained.
It all happened in seconds.
“I saw how we overtook the car. The bus was traveling at a decent speed, not less than 100 kilometers. We overtook the car. And then the truck in front of us changed abruptly. And the bus, of course, began to brake sharply. And we were carried away. It all happened in a few seconds. What, in general, how? We got out of the bus. Rescuers arrived in 15-20 minutes. A helicopter, an ambulance, "- those who rode in a tourist bus share their impressions.
But tourists who traveled in nearby buses and cars say that the crashed bus had technical problems.
"Some of the eyewitnesses say that at first there was a sound of a bursting wheel, and then a bus flew, - this is another statement about what happened. - All the buses, by the way, went fine, only this one ... We thought why Is he driving that fast? It's unclear. He was driving fast, the others were all going fine. "
"I was driving behind the bus. And I just saw that he got up from behind, as if something had happened to the cardan. The bus began to collapse. The driver tried to drive until the bus turned over on the road," adds the driver of the car following the bus ...
Despite the fact that this route is one of the central tourist routes connecting international airports,. November 11 - cars in a ditch, November 7 - a truck turned around. September 10 - the car flew off the road, which had to be taken out by a tractor.
“We have two buses in 10 days,” says a Russian tourist returning from the Dominican Republic to Vnukovo. “The rest is wonderful, but the transport is dangerous. Therefore, guys, I would not recommend taking excursions."
"The service is excellent," assures a tourist from Russia in khaki. "Buses run badly. In short, it's better not to take a car and don't need to drive, because the rules are conditional."
“Locals say the traffic situation is dangerous. This can happen at any moment,” states a tourist from the Dominican Republic who has returned to Moscow.
2016 year. The same track. The video shows the tourist bus in almost the same position as the current one. Then 18 people were injured.
All the injured in today's accident were transported from the highway straight to three hospitals. First, a stretcher on wheels appeared on the road, and soon a helicopter landed right on the road.
According to Anastasia, who is now in the hospital, she is being provided with all the necessary assistance. But there are food problems.
“There is no canteen in the hospital,” Anastasia Popova explains. “My husband has been with me for 24 hours. He’s hungry. If you want to eat, go to a cafe, they say. We already have very little money - 5 dollars left.”
The information that the 12-year-old girl had both arms amputated was denied several hours ago by Mikhail Evdokimov, a representative of the Russian diplomatic mission at the Punta Cana resort. According to him, doctors managed to save one hand. They sewed it on. And 80% that it will recover. The second hand is intact. Volunteers who speak both Russian and Spanish helped the victims communicate with doctors.
“The Russian diaspora was very supportive. People came to hospitals, donated blood,” Alexander Karpetsky thanks compatriots from the Dominican Republic.
All injured tourists are insured in case of emergencies.
"Each victim has an insurance contract with a limit of 40 thousand dollars in his hands. Of course, the treatment that they are prescribed, including transportation, will be paid for," Yulia Alcheeva assured the insurance company.
The first seven people from the overturned buses are already at home. Doctors are closely monitoring the condition of the rest.

Without insurance

Now almost everyone pours out a ton of negativity towards this girl, as if the saints themselves, "said Zhenya Vaskovskaya.
