Searching for Ambiorix Burgos
Ambiorix Burgos appears to be in a lot of trouble:
New York Mets pitcher Ambiorix Burgos was driving an SUV when it slammed into two women who later died of their injuries, police said.
Local police still were searching for Burgos on Wednesday.
Police Col. Eulogio Taveras said Josefina Minaya Martinez, 38, and Angely Fana, 29, were struck Tuesday evening by a new Hummer registered to the 24-year-old reliever in his Caribbean homeland. The women died at a hospital in Nagua, a town 112 miles north of the capital, Santo Domingo.
"The investigation indicates that Burgos was the driver of the (vehicle) that hit the women," Taveras said in a statement, adding several witnesses identified Burgos as the driver.
If this turns out to be true, Burgos will be in for a much tougher fight than he'll ever find in the NL East. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of the victims.
