He died in an accident on the Autopista 5 between Cabarete and Sosúa.

According to Oscar's family he was born in Sosua, Dominican Republic not Puerto Plata. Cococmc (talk) 20:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Error in introduction
The introduction to this article says Taveras hit a home run in his first big league at-bat. However, Taveras didn't hit his first home run until his second at-bat. The first at-bat was a lineout to left field.
