A motorcyclist lost his life this Sunday in an accident on Vía Blanca, near Guanabo in the capital's Habana del Este municipality. His passenger, a 25-year-old woman, was transported to the hospital but remains out of danger, according to reports on social media.
Apparently, the young people were returning from activities marking the "end of summer in Varadero." “Unfortunately, my cousin and I were the only witnesses to what happened this past Sunday, the end of summer in Varadero. The accident occurred at kilometer 33 of Vía Blanca, already in Guanabo,” reported a user from the Facebook group 'Accidentes Buses & Camiones.'
According to this witness, “we were able to quickly help the girl and managed to stop a patrol and get her on board… As for the young man, we couldn't find him initially, and when we did, he was no longer breathing.” Identified as Gsm Cuba, the user and content creator expressed his frustration over not being able to do more for the accident victims and detailed that the crashed motorcycle “was a red Bugatti” [possibly referring to a motorcycle from the Italian manufacturer Ducati].
Earlier, in the mentioned group, a user asked for details about the incident. “Does anyone know anything about the accident involving a [Japanese bike] returning from Varadero to Havana?” he said in his post. His message was answered by another user of the Facebook group, who claimed to be a neighbor of Guanabo. “I was told that the young man died in the accident. It was at the entrance to Boca Ciega,” he noted.
“The young man was named Yoan, from Santa Marta. He lived in Miami,” said a user identified as Henry Díaz in the comments. Meanwhile, Amaury Pérez confirmed this information, with a slight variation in the name of the deceased: “Yohan, from Santa Marta, Varadero,” he indicated.
The user identified as Rayner Clyde Fonts stated that “the girl's name is Rachel López, 25 years old, she resides in Playa, and at least I delivered her to Calixto García without any complications.” He added, “I am a paramedic and was the one who transported her to the hospital.”
The end-of-summer festivities in Varadero featured guests like Oniel Bebeshito, who created a frenzy on Friday when he took the stage during the event marking the end of the summer season.
