The world of sports and the Dominican Republic share the same duel: two of its baseball stars, Yordano Ventura and Andy Marte, died yesterday in spectacular car accidents.
According to information provided by People, Ventura, who was a pitcher for the Kansas City Royals and Mars, who at his best played seven seasons with the Major Leagues, died yesterday in two different traffic accidents, both in his native country, the Dominican Republic.
Ventura was one of the most famous Hispanic pitchers. He helped the Royals win the world championship less than two years ago, he was just 25 years old and passed away on the Rancho Arriba highway, which led to the town of Juan Adrian. the causes of the accident are still unknown.
Mars, 33, was driving in his Mercedes Benz vehicle from the city of Pimentel to his province, San Francisco de Macorís. It is believed that he was going to celebrate the triumph of his Caribbean Eagles team, which that night had won an important Dominican baseball tournament. His vehicle was unrecognizable and the first investigations suggest that he was driving with excessive speed.
Immediately colleagues of the two players as well as baseball lovers turned to their social networks to express their pain with messages such as "Wow, absolutely heartbroken to wake up and hear about the death of Andy Marte" and "May he rest in peace another great and young player who left too early (Yordano Ventura)”.
Just a year ago, the World Health Organization had said that the Dominican Republic is the most dangerous place in the western hemisphere to drive, and number 15 among the worst in the world for it. And, according to the World State Report on Highway Safety, every year, 29 out of every 100,000 people in this Caribbean nation die in traffic accidents.
