A Cuban passed away the night before in Santiago de Cuba after being hit by a car in the town of El Socorro, belonging 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 reported that the man had suffered serious 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 boarding a passenger truck.
"At the moment the gentleman was climbing the rear stairs of the truck, he was hit by the machine, which apparently came distracted because it did nothing to brake, although the driver comments that the brakes failed," an anonymous source told the journalist.
The injured person was taken to the Policlínico de La Maya, with severe injuries from the waist down, so the survival prognosis 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 details 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 3rd, a driver died after their car crashed into a side barrier on a road in Matanzas and caught fire.
The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m., on the Central Highway towards 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.
