A motorist lost his life this Saturday in Havana after being involved in an accident where he collided with a truck.
A user from the Facebook group 'Automobile Accidents in Cuba' reported this, sharing images of the incident, where – according to comments on social media – there could be a second fatality, something that has not been confirmed at the time of writing this note.
"Accident at 51 and 218, La Vereda, La Lisa, Havana, Cuba. Truck and electric motorcycle involved. Presumably, two electric motorcycles were racing, one colliding head-on with the truck. There is a deceased (they say 2)," noted the user identified as Alexander Ríos Cruz in the mentioned group.
On the Facebook group 'Accidentes Buses & Camiones', a user identified as Robniel López stated that “two young men riding the electric motorcycle died at the moment and are from San Agustín.”
Motorbike accidents continue to be among the main causes of accidents and fatalities on the streets and highways of Cuba.
