A tragic accident occurred on the highway at the entrance of Santiago de Cuba when a truck collided with a horse-drawn cart, resulting in the immediate death of the person driving it.

The journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada reported the incident on his Facebook account, where he called on anyone who had witnessed the accident to provide him with more details about what happened.

At that moment, the circumstances had not been confirmed, but later the communicator published another post with more detailed information: “This morning, a unfortunate accident occurred where a man and father of a family named Alejandro Candeaux, who lived on Calle 2 in Santa María in the Reparto Boniato, lost his life instantly.”

"The man lay on the Santiaguera Highway after being struck by a white minibus, but the horse-drawn cart lost control and was hit by another vehicle that was passing at that moment," the activist added.

He also stated that the unfortunate accident occurred very close to the Vocational Art School (EVA), and many people who witnessed the event helped the victim in getting to a hospital, but it was too late.

Three days ago, another person from Santiago lost their life after being hit by a car in the town of El Socorro, which belongs to the municipality of Songo La Maya, as they were about to board a passenger truck.

The news was confirmed by Yosmany Mayeta Labrada himself, who initially said that the man had suffered serious injuries from the accident, but later reported his death.
