On Sunday morning, a second traffic accident occurred in Mayarí, Holguín, resulting in multiple injuries, just hours following a deadly crash that claimed six lives in the same eastern region. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported in this subsequent incident, as shared by journalist Emilio Rodríguez Pupo on social media.
The injured individuals, whose exact number was not disclosed, were transported to the Hospital of Mayarí and the polyclinic in Levisa for medical treatment. The accident took place near the entrance to Dos Bahías, Cabonico, and involved a truck and a bicycle, according to information circulated on social platforms.

Around 1:00 a.m., a tragic accident in the Castillito area resulted in the immediate death of five people, including a child, and left another individual in critical condition, who later succumbed to injuries at the hospital.
