A car accident involving a Geely and a modern vehicle occurred on Monday afternoon near the Bus Terminal in Plaza de la Revolución, Havana. The incident happened when one of the vehicles failed to obey the traffic light.
"The front vehicle (Geely) ran the red light, and the other car coming up on 19 de Mayo hit it on the side," reported Alexis Verano in the Facebook group, "ACCIDENTES BUSES & CAMIONES por más experiencia y menos víctimas!" Verano shared photos and a short clip showing the aftermath of the collision on Avenida Boyeros.
The impact left the side of the Geely damaged, especially the passenger door, while the other vehicle sustained significant front-end damage, particularly to its bumper and headlights. Fortunately, it appears that the drivers of both cars were not injured.
