A truck belonging to the Electrical Company was involved in an accident in Holguín this Friday after the driver lost control of the brakes, causing the vehicle to crash into a tree and end up on the sidewalk.
The incident took place in the municipality of Banes, right in front of the old Hanoi cinema.
According to Orelvis Aldo Guerrero, a sports commentator and narrator at Radio Banes, fortunately, there were only material damages. "The call is for caution and attention on the road so that we can enjoy a family summer," he stated on his Facebook wall.
Guerrero mentioned that there have been other recent truck accidents in Banes: one that collided with a post and another from a cooperative that overturned.
In the comment section, two individuals reported that the same vehicle had lost its brakes in front of their homes. "It is negligence on the part of the truck driver, (...) it is necessary to take appropriate measures because, instead of a tree, the impact could have been against a person," emphasized a young woman.
