A Cuban passed away the night before in Santiago de Cuba after being hit by a car in the town of El Socorro, which belongs to the municipality of Songo La Maya, at the moment he was about to board a passenger truck.
The news was confirmed by independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, who initially said that the man had suffered severe injuries from the accident, but later reported his death.
In the early hours of this Friday, Mayeta shared about the incident on her Facebook profile, explaining that the man was injured at the moment he was getting onto a passenger truck.
“At the moment the man was climbing the rear stairs of the truck, he was struck by the machine, which apparently came distracted because it did nothing to brake, although the driver commented that the brakes failed,” an anonymous source told the journalist.
The injured person was taken to the La Maya Polyclinic, with severe injuries from the waist down, so the prognosis for survival was uncertain.
Hours later, the communicator confirmed the death of this Cuban, who he added was known as “El Jabao,” although he did not provide more information about the victim.
As of the time of writing this note, the situation of the driver of the car involved in the accident is unknown.
Last Thursday, October 3, a driver died after his car crashed into a side retaining wall on a road in Matanzas and caught fire.
The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. on the Central Highway heading to Perico, at the exit of the town of Sergio González (known as Tinguaro), in the municipality of Colón, reported the Provincial Government of the People's Power on Facebook.
