Weird coincidence of the two separate deaths, but then I looked up the road traffic death rate in the Dominican Republic, and at 38.51 deaths per 100,000 it is considered the sixth worst country in the world in this category, behind such countries as Iran, Iraq and Libya. And beyond these two separate deaths Ventura dedicated his 2014 World Series outing to Oscar Taveras, another player who died a few day earlier in an auto accident in the Dominican Republic.
As a comparision the United States has a rate of 9.99, while Great Britain's rate is near the bottom at 2.97 per 100,000
