At least 16 Dominicans were after the American dream a few days ago.
They did not imagine that it would turn into a tragic nightmare when the truck that transported them to the United States crashed in Chiapas, Mexico.
At least 56 migrants are estimated to have died and more than 100 were injured in the December 9 accident.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic reported that so far they have identified six Dominicans among the dead.
There are also three injured and seven remain missing, almost all also from the city of Baní.
Family and friends held a vigil in that place, in memory of the victims.
