Tuesday on the Route National #1, a pickup of passengers who was en route to Port-au-Prince hit, in the locality of Lacroix Périsse, 2nd section of the Estère, in Lower Artibonite, a truck of merchandise that was heading northbound, while trying to avoid a bus that came from Goaïves.

According to Mathieu Luckecy, Coordinator of Office of Civil Protection for Lower Artibonite 11 people, including 9 women have lost their lives in the accident. Two others have passed away during transport to hospital. 4 other people were injured (3 are back home after receiving first aid) the last seriously injured was taken to the hospital Saint-Nicolas of Saint-Marc.
