A truck from the Electric Company had an accident in Holguín this Friday, after the driver lost control of the brakes, crashed into a tree, and ended up on the sidewalk.
The incident occurred in the municipality of Banes, right in front of the old Hanoi movie theater.
According to Orelvis Aldo Guerrero, sports commentator and broadcaster on Radio Banes, fortunately there were only material damages.
"The call is for care and attention on the road, in order to enjoy a summer with family," he said on his Facebook wall.
According to Aldo Guerrero, in the last few days, other accidents with trucks have occurred in Banes: one that crashed into a pole and another one from a cooperative that overturned.
In the comments section, two people reported that the same vehicle lost its brakes in front of their houses.
"It is negligence on the part of the driver of the car, (...) it is necessary to take the appropriate measures, as instead of hitting a tree, the impact could have been against a person," emphasized a young woman.
