A truck belonging to the Santiago de Cuba Electric Company unexpectedly lost both rear tires on Friday night in the heart of the city. According to independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, this vehicle is one of the few in operation for the service company.
The unusual incident took place at the intersection of Calle Trocha and San Agustín, a heavily trafficked avenue. The event was recorded by several women who happened to be passing by at the time.
"The followers who did not hesitate to send the images lamented the scene and criticized the state of inebriation of the electrical workers," reported the journalist on his Facebook page.
In the video, the women can be heard commenting on the noise made when the tires came off and expressing relief that no other car was following behind. "They are drinking," one woman noted. "They’ve come from the carnival in the electric company’s truck," added another. "Then you call, and there is no one available," remarked a third.
Mayeta Labrada pointed out that there have been numerous reports of electrical issues in Santiago de Cuba recently. "You already know that the drivers and electrical workers are engrossed in more 'victorious' tasks at the Santiago carnival, clinging to a bottle," he criticized.
