On January 1st, a truck crashed into a house near the baseball stadium in Las Tunas, in a dramatic accident that has sparked dozens of speculations.
The incident took the residents of the neighborhood by surprise. The garden wall of the house was knocked down, and the truck ended up embedded in one corner of what appears to be the living room.
According to witnesses, the truck veered off its route and crashed into the house in the morning.
Some users on the Facebook group "ACCIDENTS BUSES & TRUCKS, for more experience and fewer victims" suggested that the driver may have been affected by a hangover from December 31, which could have impaired his reaction time.
"Maybe he was out all night, but that doesn't justify what he did," commented one person.
However, others defended the driver and suggested that the accident might have had more technical causes. "You can't say anything without knowing if the driver was drunk," said another. "Maybe it was a technical problem with the truck or the years of poor maintenance it has suffered. And yes, if he was drunk, he should pay for his irresponsibility," he added.
A third opinion pointed directly to the condition of the streets in the area. "Here, at that corner, there aren’t just potholes; there are craters. I imagine that’s why. These potholes are a part of the city’s heritage," joked a resident while surveying the damage to the house.
The poor condition of the streets in various parts of Las Tunas is a recurring issue among residents, who often complain about the deterioration of the roads.
It is unknown whether there are any victims.
