Although the causes are unknown, some internet users speculated that one of the vehicles was going the wrong way on 7th Street to turn onto Paseo and collided with the other that was traveling correctly.

No injuries were reported.

This week, at the prominent corner of Zapata and Paseo in El Vedado, a motorcyclist was injured after being struck by a car in Havana.

The motorcycle was left lying in the street, nearly under the car. The driver was taken away unconscious.

In mid-October, a CUPET truck transporting liquefied gas canisters collided with a car and ended up overturning, due to a traffic light being out at a busy intersection in El Vedado.

"Line 12. The small car was coming down 12, with no signal at the traffic light, and it took priority over the Pontiac," a witness of the traffic accident reported on Facebook.

In June, two diplomatic vehicles were involved in a collision at the busy intersection of Línea and Paseo. One belonged to the Turkish embassy, while the other was from Russia. Both sustained damage to their front ends.

According to a witness of the incident, the two were driving down Paseo, and the vehicle from Turkey was responsible for the collision, having made an illegal left turn from Paseo onto Línea.
