On Saturday, a collision between a workers' bus from the nickel industry and a tractor in a rural area of Moa, Holguín, resulted in injuries to nine individuals. The exact cause of the accident remains unclear. Among the injured are three employees from the Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara company, one from the Comandante Pedro Sotto Alba factory, four from the Nickel Mechanics company, and a worker from SEPSA, as reported by journalist Yulieska Hernández on social media.
Hernández noted that "there are currently no serious injuries" and all those hurt are receiving care at the local hospital, Doctor Guillermo Luis Fernández Hernández-Baquero. The accident took place near the Jucaral area in the Centeno Popular Council. Images from the scene show the area shrouded in darkness, with the bus off the road.
