Collision Between Two Motorcycles in Santiago de Cuba Results in Multiple Injuries

An accident occurred this Thursday in the city of Santiago de Cuba involving two motorcycles that collided at a busy intersection, resulting in at least two injuries.

Journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported on Facebook that the incident took place at the intersection of Escario and Segunda Street in the Santa Bárbara neighborhood. According to Mayeta, initial reports indicate that the driver of the red motorcycle, who was traveling along Segunda Street, failed to obey the "Stop" sign, which resulted in a collision with the other motorcycle that had the right of way on Escario Street.

"The injured individuals were transported to a city hospital, but their personal details and the severity of their injuries are currently unknown," Mayeta noted. He did not provide information regarding the presence of passengers on either motorcycle.

Motorcycle accidents are quite common in Santiago de Cuba. Just 10 days ago, another traffic accident occurred in Cuabitas, Santiago de Cuba, when a young motorcyclist collided with a car from the National Revolutionary Police Force. Eyewitnesses reported that the motorcyclist was speeding and was left lying on the street after the crash.

Following the collision, the young man underwent two surgical procedures but ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The motorcyclist received an emotional farewell, which included a large funeral procession of fellow riders.
