Friday, June 21, 2024 by Amelia Soto

The front end of a Lada car was completely wrecked following an accident on Cuba's National Highway. During a heavy rainstorm in the Cuban capital, the car was left nearly destroyed in the middle of the island's main highway.

"Monumental between the Cotorro bridges and the highway, the Lada crossed into the opposite lane," wrote Osiel Arencibia Santana when sharing a video of the incident in the Facebook group "Traffic Accidents in Cuba."

At first glance, the collision appears severe, and according to the video, it was against a modern vehicle. In the comments, a user mentioned that the Lada driver is his close friend and is currently hospitalized at Calixto García Hospital, though no further details about his condition were provided.
