A Facebook user mentioned that she was present at the rescue of the injured people, who were transported to the nearest hospital thanks to a minibus that was passing by at that time.

This is the fourth collapse identified in the city so far this week.

Precisely, on Thursday night, three people were injured after a balcony collapsed onto a cafeteria located in a very central area of El Vedado.

The unfortunate accident occurred at El Tablazo cafeteria, located on 1st street, between C and D.

Meanwhile, in the morning hours of this Friday, the top part of a two-story house collapsed, without causing any injuries to people.

According to a video on social media, the building cracked on one side, and the crack kept getting bigger until it ended up collapsing the upper structure of the property.

Days before, a partial collapse had also occurred in a building located on Monte Street between Águila and Ángeles, in Old Havana, leaving one person injured, who had to be taken to a hospital.
