Traffic accidents in Cuba continue to be one of the main causes of death on the island.

On Monday, a motorcyclist died in the morning hours on Boyeros Avenue in Havana. Following this, social media users called on drivers to have more "responsibility on the road" and demanded that authorities repair the streets and avenues.

In recent days, several traffic accidents have been reported in different provinces of the country, with the tragic outcome of at least nine fatalities.

In one of the accidents, a young Cuban couple riding a Kawasaki-type motorcycle died on Friday in Cárdenas, Matanzas, when the vehicle crashed into a tree near the roundabout that borders the city's cemetery.

Also on Friday, a girl died on the Ocho Vías in Havana when the car she was traveling in with her family overturned and caught fire.

A few hours prior, in the early hours of Thursday, five other individuals died in an accident that occurred in the vicinity of Santa Lucía Beach, in the city of Camagüey.

Last year, 729 people lost their lives in Cuba as a result of traffic accidents.
