A tractor crashed into the entrance of a house this Tuesday after losing its brakes while going down a hill in Santiago de Cuba.
The pavement was wet at the time the accident occurred, which intensified the danger.
Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities as a result of the incident, but there were material losses, as clearly indicated by images shared on social media by journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada.
The accident occurred on Ramón Ruiz Street between Palau and 12 de Agosto Avenue. At the time of the incident, the driver of the tractor was descending what is known among the neighbors in the area as "the Hill of the López Peña Polyclinic."
"That was at the corner of my house. In the middle of the downpour, the tractor lost its brakes. Now they are with the police," reported a local resident.
Another commentator noted that the driver possibly intentionally crashed into the portal upon seeing that there was no one around and as the only option when noticing he was going downhill.
As of the closing of this note, there are no other confirmed details about the incident, which adds to a high number of accidents that have occurred in Santiago de Cuba in recent days, some of them very serious.
Although many are already talking about "the curse of Santiago" due to the high volume of traffic accidents and tragedies of all kinds that are documented almost daily, others warn that tragedies have existed and still exist in all provinces.
However, in the case of Santiago de Cuba, Yosmany Mayeta has become - despite the thousands of kilometers that separate him from his home province - a meticulous reporter of events in Santiago thanks to his extensive network of followers who quickly inform him of any occurrence.
In another spectacular incident somewhat similar to what happened with the tractor in Santiago de Cuba, it was reported that a concrete mixer crashed into the external wall of the Hotel Habana Libre in the heart of Vedado. Fortunately, in this case, there were no reported human injuries either.
