A tragic accident involving a truck resulted in the death of a young Cuban woman and injuries to 11 others, including three minors. The incident occurred on Sunday in the Florencia municipality of Ciego de Ávila when the truck plunged approximately 10 meters after crossing a bridge.
The mishap took place around 7:40 p.m. and involved a vehicle from the Empresa Acopio traveling from Meneses to Ciro Redondo after participating in an event in the Perea community, as reported by official sources. According to the municipal secretary of the Communist Party in Florencia, the truck lost control before reaching a curve known as "la loma de la Patabola."
This loss of control caused the truck to fall about 10 meters post-bridge, ultimately overturning. The injured individuals were promptly taken to the Florencia Polyclinic and later, starting at 11:00 p.m., transferred to Morón Hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
Currently, the death of Yenia Ferrer García has been confirmed. Official media sources have refuted claims that three people died and that the injured minors are in critical condition.
In a related incident, also in Ciego de Ávila, a Cuban named Alberto Rodríguez Monte de Oca lost his life when the Lada he was driving collided with a Yutong bus in the Ciro Redondo municipality, resulting in his immediate death.
