Below I translated the Spanish article:
The ex-baseball player Alberto Lois, 62 years old, died at the dawn of this Tuesday in Ingenio Consuelo, San Pedro de Macorís province.

Lois had a short career in baseball. He played for the Cibaeñas Eagles in the 1974-79 season, being part of the champion team several times.

In his career at Lidom he had 658 at bats, with a .249 average and 8 homers.

He was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, who raised him to the major leagues briefly between 1978 and 1979.

That year they signed him with a contract for the 1980 season, but he suffered a terrible traffic accident when a truck driving on the Malecón de San Pedro hit a cane train.

In the back of the vehicle were 6 people, who died. Lois lost his right eye and had to withdraw from baseball.

He was a native of Hato Mayor, but a resident of the San Pedro de Macoris province.
