On Wednesday, an accident in Santiago de Cuba involving a tourist car and a motorcycle resulted in injuries to a military officer traveling on the motorcycle. Journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported on Facebook that the incident occurred at Segunda and Escario streets in the Santa Bárbara neighborhood.
According to Mayeta, the motorcycle with license plate B "was ridden by a military officer with ranks," who was subsequently transported to a hospital in the city. A witness told Mayeta that the modern car failed to respect the stop sign.
