A traffic accident occurred this Sunday afternoon on Escario Street, in the heart of Santiago de Cuba, resulting in two people injured, according to reports on social media.

Journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada reported on Facebook that witnesses at the scene stated that the most affected driver lay on the ground for about 10 minutes, appearing to be unconscious.

However, after some time, he began to move and was assisted by people nearby who lifted him and took him to a vehicle for his transfer to the hospital.

According to testimonies, the driver of the involved truck attempted to flee, but bystanders managed to prevent him from leaving the scene.

It was reported that the car belongs to the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) and is assigned to the unit in Antilla, although it is currently being used at the Moncada Cement factory.

An elderly person died on Friday in Camagüey when riding their bicycle and was struck by a truck. The fatal accident occurred on a street in the municipality of Minas.

In mid-August, an accident in Bayamo claimed the life of a cyclist identified as Pablo Estrada, who was struck by a truck on Vicente Quesada Street and died instantly upon impact.
