A young Cuban man was struck by a modern car in the community of Sao Carlos, located in the province of Holguín. According to social media sources, the incident did not pose a threat to his life.

The accident occurred "in the early hours of Sunday evening," stated social media user Rolando Guerra Machín in the Facebook group "El Purial, Holguín, Cuba." The collision involved the young man, identified as Yoendris Salina Rodríguez, who was descending from a bus on the Guardalavaca-Holguín highway and "was hit by a modern light vehicle" without noticing it as he crossed the road.

In the comments section, several users noted that the young man's life was not in danger and that his recovery was progressing favorably. "The young man is quite stable and may be discharged today after the medical visit, with only minor injuries," indicated the author of the post.

Images shared online show the Kia car, with a state-issued license plate, suffering significant front-end damage, including a severe impact on the windshield, suggesting that the vehicle was traveling at a high speed.

Neighbors and social media users expressed their wishes for a swift recovery for the injured individual.
