This past weekend, a traffic accident occurred on Vía Blanca Street near the Elevated Bridge in Havana, involving a tricycle that lost control and overturned in the middle of the road. According to Antonio Hernández, a user in the Facebook group "ACCIDENTES BUSES & CAMIONES por más experiencia y menos víctimas!", these types of vehicles often drive recklessly, ignoring traffic rules, which increases the risk of accidents in areas with heavy traffic.
While there have been no reports of fatalities so far, the incident once again highlights the issue of the lack of control and safety in the operation of tricycles in the capital.
