A triple collision occurred this Thursday near Terminal 1 of Havana Airport in the Boyeros municipality, which handles national flights. The accident involved an Immigration patrol and two private vehicles, leaving them with significant damage. It remains unclear if there were any injuries as a result of the incident.
The news of the crash was first reported by a user on the popular Facebook group Accidentes Buses & Camiones, who provided the accident's location but was unsure about the causes. "In one of the photos, you can see another car in front that I didn't have time to photograph, but it was also involved in the accident and was more damaged than these," noted the author in the comments, referring to the white Geely, which was photographed by another witness.
Several published photos revealed that the pavement was wet at the time of the accident, primarily damaging the patrol car and the white Geely. The third vehicle, seemingly a compact Daewoo Lanos sedan, was not as severely affected.
In the comments section, several users acted as amateur sleuths and blamed the patrol car, although many suggested that responsibility would likely fall on another party. "It looks like the patrol car's fault; I see it in the wrong lane, but either way, they won't be held accountable," one commenter opined.
"We all know how this will end. Guilty... Innocent..."; "The police car invaded the lane, but the private car will always be blamed for driving normally when the police come violating rules," added two other users.
"I'm not an expert, but it's evident that the patrol car is at fault. But in Cuba, absurdities are the norm, so the private driver will have to pay for the patrol's damages, surrender their license, and write 'I can't crash into patrols' a thousand times," another driver remarked sarcastically.
Some speculated that besides the wet pavement, a non-functioning traffic light might have contributed to the triple accident. "I've seen that Immigration car speeding around before," another user criticized the unpopular patrol.
As of the closing of this report, no further details have emerged about the accident.
