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.
The death of Guillermo Aguilar Fonseca has caused a wave of shock and sadness among his loved ones.
"A big kiss to heaven. We will laugh together again someday, just like we always used to when we met. I will always remember you," wrote Dianelis Aguilar in her farewell, who identified herself on social media as the cousin of the deceased young man.
According to previous statements from knowledgeable sources in the area, the accident occurred in a dangerous and poorly lit section of the highway.
As of the publication of this note, there are no details regarding the clinical condition of the partner of the deceased young man.
