A collision between a bus and a car took place on Friday afternoon at the intersection of L Street and Calzada in Havana's Vedado neighborhood.
The crash occurred after the car allegedly ignored a stop sign, according to reports from the independent outlet Cubanet.
Fortunately, there were no fatalities. The car's driver emerged unscathed, while a woman passenger was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, the report adds.
Just a day earlier, another accident in Las Tunas resulted in twelve people being injured.
This previous incident happened at the eighth kilometer of the road leading to Puerto Padre, near the well-known Becerra curve.
Preliminary accounts indicate that three vehicles were involved: a semi-trailer, a privately-owned truck carrying several passengers, and a modern MG brand car.
The truck reportedly collided with one of the rear wheels of the semi-trailer as the two vehicles passed each other in opposite directions. This caused the truck driver to lose control and crash into the car trailing behind the trailer.
