According to comments in the publication about the accident shared in the Facebook group "ACCIDENTES BUSES & CAMIONES for more experience and fewer victims!", it was the bus that crossed into the opposite lane and ended up colliding with the Lada.

An hour ago I passed by and it was already there, the bus invaded the lane of the Lada, turning from the traffic light at Calzada de Güines towards Vía Blanca, there are no serious injuries," a user pointed out.

The shared images show that the impact occurred on both sides where the driver was operating, a fact that caught the attention of another internet user.

"A truly strange accident, truth be told. I am a professional driver and out of self-preservation instinct, we always give way to the opposite lane in case of collision, and there I see that it was on the same side as the drivers," he mentioned.

By sharing his experience about that busy road, which is one of the main entry and exit routes to the Cuban capital, a user recounted his experience.

"I'm terrified of Vía Blanca. I studied for 4 years at Andrés Luján, which is located on the same Vía Blanca, and what I saw was a lot. That route should be avoided as much as possible," he commented.

Up to the moment of writing this note, it is unknown whether the traffic police arrived at the scene.

Last Thursday, a Lada and a Moskvitch collided on Boyeros Avenue in Havana. The first of these cars overturned on the road, while the other vehicle sustained considerable damage.

While a driver was seriously injured at the 274th kilometer of the Central Highway, in Villa Clara, when a tourist car collided with a mechanical service truck for the gas company from the province of Holguín last Friday.

On Sunday, a fatal traffic accident claimed the lives of two people at kilometer 144 of the National Highway, near the municipality of Jagüey Grande, in the Cuban province of Matanzas.

According to reports on social media, the crash involved a motorcycle and a modern rental tourism car, although more specific details about the unfortunate situation are unknown.
