A traffic accident that took place at the intersection of Avenida 41 and Calle 82, in the municipality of Marianao, Havana, left at least one driver in critical condition, according to reports circulated on social media.
The incident occurred at 7:00 p.m. on this Thursday, October 8th. It was captured on video and shared in the group Facebook "Traffic Accidents in Cuba and Road Information", in the area known as La Ceguera.
The images show a Moskvitch car overturned on its side on the roadway, surrounded by a crowd of people, many of whom are recording with their mobile phones.
The scene features the modern high-displacement motorcycle that was involved in the accident. The available images do not allow for the identification of its make or model.
The Cuban content creator Nio reporting a crime shared the video of the accident in Marianao on Facebook, noting that there was one serious injury in the incident. So far, no official source has confirmed the identity of the affected driver, the exact number of victims, or the final medical report regarding the condition of those involved.
The Moskvitch is a Soviet-manufactured car that has been very common in Cuba since the era of socialist imports. The age of these vehicles and the difficulties in obtaining spare parts present challenges for their maintenance and safety.
At the beginning of this week, a accident in Camagüey resulted in one death and several injuries, highlighting the severe road safety crisis facing the country.
