Title: Police Car Collides with Motorist in Havana Municipality; Uncertainty Surrounds Fatal Outcome
In an unfortunate incident reported by witnesses on Facebook, a police car collided with a motorist in the Havana municipality of Guanabacoa. The accident took place on Thursday night at the intersection of 4th and Ocho Vías streets. According to a post on the group “BUSES & TRUCKS ACCIDENTS for more experience and fewer victims!”, a patrol car was involved in the collision, striking the motorist from behind.
While there is no official confirmation, an online user stated, “It seems that the one on the motorcycle died.” The seriousness of the accident remains uncertain at this time.
An eyewitness shared a two-second video on the Facebook group, displaying the motorcycle trapped beneath the right front wheel of the police car. This clip further added to the discussions surrounding the responsibility for the accident among dozens of Cubans. Some highlighted the perceived impunity enjoyed by the police on the island.
In another incident that occurred on Thursday, an accident involving a Russian limousine Chaika, previously owned by the late dictator Fidel Castro and later converted into tourist taxis, was reported. The incident took place on the Havana-Pinar del Río highway. The limousine was believed to have skidded on the road, resulting in it veering off for unknown reasons.
Further details about both accidents are awaited as authorities investigate the incidents.
