Young man dies after being in critical condition following an accident in Santiago de Cuba

The incident occurred early Tuesday morning on the National Highway.


A Cuban who was gravely injured in a tragic traffic accident that occurred early Tuesday on the National Highway passed away on Wednesday, as reported by journalist Yosmany Mayeta on social media.

The deceased victim, 35-year-old Guillermo Aguilar Fonseca—better known as "Guille"—was driving a white modern car that was involved in a serious accident on the highway between the municipality of San Luis and Palma Soriano in Santiago de Cuba.

At the time of the incident, Aguilar Fonseca was accompanied by their partner, who was also injured.

The causes of the accident are unclear, nor are the circumstances surrounding it, although it seems that no other vehicle was involved.

After more than a day fighting for his life in the hospital, the young man reportedly passed away on Wednesday afternoon or evening.

A brief video shared on Facebook this week by Mayeta Labrada displayed the shocking condition of the wrecked car, which was completely destroyed, especially on the driver's side.
