Cuban authorities detained the driver of a state tow truck, who was involved in a violent incident by repeatedly ramming a Transmetro bus in the middle of the public road in Cárdenas.
The incident, captured in a video and circulated widely on social media, triggered a strong wave of reactions and speculations among internet users. As confirmed by the official media Periódico Girón, the truck driver has been arrested and is under investigation.
Sources linked to law enforcement stated that the man was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, a claim that has yet to be confirmed by investigators, nor corroborated by family members or eyewitnesses.
The incident took place during a heated dispute between the driver of the Technical Assistance on the Road (ATV) truck and the driver of the tour bus belonging to Transmetro.
Although the origin of the confrontation has not been clarified, witnesses indicate that it involved a dispute over a driving maneuver that escalated into physical assaults against the truck driver, who then responded by ramming his vehicle into theirs at least twice.
