A traffic accident on Saturday in the La Maya municipality of Santiago de Cuba resulted in a modern car colliding with a porch column, as reported by witnesses on social media. Images shared by independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta depict the vehicle lodged into the home’s structure, drawing a crowd of onlookers at the scene.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation of any casualties or injuries. This incident echoes a similar crash from January when a car slammed into a house in the city of Santiago de Cuba. In that event, the home was elevated from street level, and a protective wall around the porch prevented more extensive damage, though the fire department had to intervene.
Citizen reports note a growing frequency of such accidents in the province, raising concerns among residents about the lack of proper signage and the deteriorating condition of many roads. One social media user commented on the post, expressing frustration: “Take it easy, we haven’t even come to terms with one piece of news before another hits. Remember, we don’t have any medicines here.”
Local authorities have yet to release an official statement on the causes behind the accident in La Maya.
