"On the night from Friday to Saturday, in 8 Vías, after the bridge of the first ring, a trailer hit a Lada and fled the scene," the young man stated.

Additionally, he stated that he got out of his car to help, “but sadly the man had passed away” due to the impact.

The post by this young driver does not provide any more details about the deceased person or photographs of the incident.

However, several users were alarmed by the lack of consideration on the part of the truck driver, as he did not stop to assist the affected individual.

"My God, rest in peace to that man, condolences to the family. Is there no humanity left? Where has the feeling of people gone? How sad everything that is happening in that country," noted an internet user.

Another user summed up: "Something needs to be done to reverse this situation, or we will be worse than animals; people no longer respect life, uncontrolled accidents, murders, a very bad path."

In the early hours of Sunday, a Cuban teenager died instantly after being struck by a motorcycle in the city of Santiago de Cuba.

The deceased was a 16-year-old teenager, identified as Kevin Quiala Suárez, and he was struck by a vehicle after leaving a bar, where he had been hanging out with friends from the neighborhood, according to a post by communicator Yosmany Mayeta Labrada on Facebook.
