Young man injured in an accident in Santiago de Cuba dies after being hit by a car from the Prosecutor's Office.

This Monday, Diosdelkis Cervantes passed away, a young man who was in critical condition after the horse-drawn carriage he and his brother were driving was struck early Sunday morning in Santiago de Cuba by a vehicle from the provincial headquarters of the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

The update on the case was disclosed by journalist Yosmany Mayeta, who previously reported on the accident and the almost instant death of Diosleidys Cervantes, the other brother traveling in the car, who was buried a few hours ago.

The cited source indicated that the injuries of the young driver of the state car - who apparently had consumed alcoholic beverages - were mild, despite the images of the vehicle showing that the Prosecutor's car suffered serious damage and was overturned on the road after rolling several times.

Yosmany Mayeta urged the authorities of Santiago de Cuba and the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Cuba to intervene in the case to take appropriate measures against the surviving driver and alleged cause of the accident.

The tragic incident occurred around 3:50 AM on September 29 when the state car collided with the rear of the horse-drawn carriage in an attempted overtaking, in the Santa Teresa neighborhood, in El Caney.

One of the coachmen died instantly at the scene, while the other brother was urgently transferred with serious injuries to the Juan Bruno Zayas Clinical Surgical Hospital.

According to some people, the driver of the car was speeding when he collided with the vehicle.

So far, the identity of the driver of the Prosecutor's car has not been disclosed, nor whether the horse or horses that were pulling the carriage survived.

In another fatal incident that occurred recently in Santiago de Cuba, two men died in a motorcycle accident last Thursday near the Cubalse store located on the El Caney road.

According to official statistics, there was a 13% decrease in traffic accidents (543 fewer) in Cuba during the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2023. However, incidents on the roads and streets of the country continue, and the frequency with which they occur and their serious consequences are concerning.
