The downpours that fell in the Dominican Republic even entered hotel rooms and in one of them in Punta Cana the television presenter Yubelkis Peralta slipped, suffering a severe blow that sent her to a hospital.
She told it herself: “Last night I got up at 3:00 a.m. to go to the bathroom and the room surprised me full of water and I slipped, hitting me very hard on the head, which left me half unconscious for a few seconds and then with a lot of pain and a little bleeding”.
She then added: “At the hotel they immediately sent a doctor to my room and then they took me by ambulance to do the site studies to rule out any trauma.”
The communicator reported that “in the ambulance they were making jokes to keep me awake and constantly monitor me, it is very important in situations like these not to leave it for tomorrow.”
Peralta woke up this Saturday with a neck brace, but she is fine.
“I swelled up in the process, but all went well… I’ll wear my neck for a few days to assess everything that happened to my neck and spine.”
