The injured police officers were immediately transferred to the Holguín Clinical Hospital, where they are receiving medical attention.

In the comments section, the author of the anonymous post explained that "the truck invaded the opposite lane."

He also pointed out that "he was turning left" towards the KTP combined factory "and the patrol car was coming from the roundabout towards the patrol unit."

Jorge Montero Góngora indicated that, apparently, “the truck driver took the deceleration lane there with the intention of turning left, but something went wrong.”

Regarding the incident, he also emphasized that "it could have even been a technical malfunction of the vehicle or not having properly calculated the distance and speed of the other car."

The internet user Vega Batista Guirabito noted that it happened minutes after the accident, and mentioned that "the truck was traveling downwards towards the west, took a left onto the road to San Germán."

In addition, he said: "Anyone who knows that intersection knows that the vehicles are going in the direction of traffic, meaning that the truck had not finished crossing into the opposite lane."

Recently, a motorcycle from the Traffic Directorate of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) was involved in an accident after colliding with a car on the Almendares River Bridge in Havana.

A video shared by the Facebook page "Accidentes Automovilísticos en Cuba" showed both vehicles at the scene of the accident, the causes of which are unknown, as well as the condition of the occupants.

Also this Wednesday, the driver of a car lost control of the vehicle and ended up going off the road and falling into a spillway in Havana, resulting in two fatalities in the accident.

A few days ago, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the busy José Martí Avenue, in front of the 18-story building in Santiago de Cuba.

Aris Arias Batalla, provincial head of Operations and Relief of the Cuban Red Cross, reported on Facebook that a motorcyclist collided with the rear right side of a Lada vehicle, belonging to the Electrical Central Maintenance Company (EMCE), with license plate B 029752.
