"The deceased motorcycle rider is lying on the floor," he noted.

In the comments section, several users noted that the accident occurred at a traffic light. They emphasized the importance of both drivers and pedestrians being aware of their surroundings, regardless of the traffic light, due to the presence of reckless individuals on the road.

Last Saturday, an elderly man was killed in a bus accident on the road from Bayamo to Las Tunas, near the town of San Joaquín, in Granma province, according to reports on social media.

The circumstances surrounding the death of the elderly man have not been revealed, although it appears he may have been struck by a vehicle while crossing the street.

Photos shared on the Facebook profile La Tijera show the cracked windshield of the bus, apparently as a result of the impact, as well as a yellow tape put up by the authorities to secure the area of the tragic incident.

Last Monday, two police officers from the motorcycle unit, commonly known as "caballitos," died as a result of a traffic accident in the province of Camagüey.
