In the publication of @El_IngenieroCu the user @SDYhabana confirmed the accident: “I was passing by,” he said, and shared two images where a large number of people can be seen observing what happened.

Also Indian that the car “most affected was the `gazella’ and there was a lot of blood”.

In comments to the publication, the Cubans pointed out that several accidents have occurred in this same place.

According to a recent report by the Cuban authorities, during the first six months of 2022 they were registered in Cuba 4,871 traffic accidents, which left a balance of 346 dead and 3,565 injured.

For the first semester of 2022, all provinces increased accidents by 93% compared to the previous year, except for the Isla de la Juventud Special Municipality.

According to official information, the main causes of accidents are speeding, not respecting the right of way, the consumption of alcoholic beverages, technical problems and driver distraction.

In addition to these causes, the poor condition of the roads and the country’s aging vehicle fleet, where cars over 50 years old, also influence the high number of accidents. To this are added the poor signage on the streets, the lack of lighting and the little road education.
