In the afternoon of this Saturday, June 24, a collision between a bus and a truck was reported near the zoo of Santiago de Cuba, a Cuban citizen reported on social networks.
According to Antillean JB González, it was the bus that hit the truck on a road where cars are allowed a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour due to the proximity of schools and the city zoo.
“The bus hit him from behind. The most interesting thing is that this area has a huge sign with a speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour, which is considered a school zone, and there are parks like a zoo. Draw your own conclusions about how the prudent driver fared,” wrote the Antillean in the Facebook group “ACCIDENTES BUSES & CAMIONES for more experience and fewer sacrifices”.

Cubans react to the collision between bus and truck
After the images of this traffic accident quickly spread on social networks, comments from the West Indies were not long in coming, with some lamenting that in the midst of the crisis, more public transport is involved in accidents than in Cuba.
“One more thing, we’re going to run out of buses”, “How long will it take?” were some of the comments that stood out the most.
On the other hand, a Cuban citizen named Julio Cesar Despaigne Lescay, who was at the scene, confirmed that the bus hit the rented truck from behind.
“Many run and run and do not think about the consequences of what can happen. There is no justification for such a stick in a lower speed zone,” he added.
Over time, such reports of traffic accidents in Cuba, which are often due to the recklessness of some drivers or the poor condition of the roads, are becoming more common.
