A Lada car was left almost completely destroyed after colliding with the back of a truck near La Lira, a locality in the Arroyo Naranjo municipality of Havana. In a video shared on the Facebook group “Accidentes Automovilísticos en Cuba” by user Yunior Torres Vasallo, viewers can see the vehicle, with state plates, deeply embedded into the rear of the truck, raising concerns about the driver's health.
A witness to the accident confirmed that the Lada driver emerged unscathed from the crash, although “a bit dazed and bleeding from the face, but walking, so I think he will recover quickly,” they added. Another user, apparently familiar with cars, commented that the video was enough to understand what happened. “No more details are needed; those who love Ladas know the steering is faulty,” he wrote, pointing out issues with the vehicle that sustained the most damage.
The video also showed the presence of bystanders and curious onlookers at the scene, although there was no police presence observed at that moment. Recently, also in Havana, the driver of a state-owned truck was injured after the vehicle fell off the Santa María del Rosario bridge, located in the Cotorro municipality. The informant noted that the driver was taken to the clinic for medical attention.
Meanwhile, last Thursday, social media users reported a collision between a Kawasaki motorcycle and a modern car on Zanja Street in Centro Habana. This incident seemingly resulted in no serious injuries, only material damage to both vehicles.
