A severe traffic accident occurred this Monday involving a truck from a small business and a classic car, known locally as an almendrón, in the province of Ciego de Ávila for reasons yet unknown.
While the initial report indicated that there were no fatalities but several injuries, the extent of the damage seen in the dramatic images leaves this unclear. "I saw this just before reaching Quesada, in the province of Ciego de Ávila. A person present at the scene told me there were no fatalities. I don't know more details; I only know there was a single car," wrote Facebook user Yandy Seoane in the group Accidentes Buses & Camiones, along with several photos of the wrecked truck.
The images show the Chinese-made Foton truck overturned on the road with its cab completely crushed. In the comments section of the post, witnesses revealed that it was a head-on collision between the truck and a classic car. They also shared photos of the severely damaged blue Ford vehicle.
One internet user, identified as Damil Leonard, mentioned that "there are patients with cranial trauma," including a five-month-old baby among the severely injured. "There are fatalities, I think four," wrote Yorge Reyes a few hours ago.
Another commenter noted, "My neighbors were in that car. Thank God they're all okay, but the people in the truck are not. We need to be careful on the road."
The inconsistent reports about the condition of those involved in the accident make it difficult to confirm the exact number of injuries or fatalities. Many have called for stricter regulations for drivers of small business vehicles, complaining that they "always drive recklessly and speed."
"Those guys in that truck had just left my workplace 30 minutes after lunch. The roads aren't easy," commented Yamir Diaz Castellón regarding the truck's occupants.
As of the time of this report, no further details about the severe accident have been released. This incident adds to a growing list of traffic accidents in recent weeks, many of which have resulted in fatalities.
