A private vehicle used for passenger transport was involved in an accident on Saturday afternoon on a road in Moa, Holguín. According to the news portal La Tijera, the Toyota car was heading from Moa to Sagua de Tánamo.

Based on the photos shared on Facebook, the vehicle veered off the road and ended up next to some bushes. Fortunately, it did not overturn. The car was carrying nearly a dozen people, some of whom were lying on the grass.

"The cause of the accident and the condition of the injured are still unknown," stated the author of the post.

Several internet users speculated that the accident was possibly caused by the driver's excessive speed combined with the poor condition of the road.

"Maybe it wasn't the reason, but those Toyota drivers speed on the highway. I know that area well and the numerous accidents from Moa to Holguín. They want to make a lot of money, and the passengers' lives are in great danger," said one woman.

"This happens because of necessity and the scarcity of petrol. They want to get the most out of the little they can buy. Their ambition blinds them so much that they end up forgetting their own lives and those of their passengers," another person commented.

"Perhaps this isn't the case, but most of the time, due to inexperience, irresponsibility, or exhaustion, anyone can get a license and sit behind the wheel. However, not everyone is aware of the responsibility they carry," a young man added.
