Five young people were victims of a fatal incident in Santa Clara, in which a driver of Cuban-American origin, apparently under the influence of alcohol, ran over them on the night of October 19. Three women lost their lives.
The incident occurred near the Cubo de Luz Recreation Center, in the city of Santa Clara, in the province of Villa Clara. The driver, who according to a profile close to the Ministry of the Interior on Facebook, was driving a rental car for tourists, lost control of the vehicle and ran over the five victims, including four women and a man. Then, according to some witnesses, although he tried to flee the scene, the police managed to capture him.
This tragic event claimed the lives of three young people. One of them was a 16-year-old teenager identified as Yurisaday, who was also the mother of a one-year-old baby. The other two young women who died responded to the names of Lorelis and Lindalba.
The two survivors required hospital treatment, and were reported in critical condition. They are a young woman named Claudia and a young man whose name has not yet been revealed, according to activist Niover Licea. He himself made an emergency call in search of type A+ blood donors to help the girl.
In Cuba traffic accidents have increased considerably this year compared to the previous period. Between June and August, more than a thousand traffic accidents were recorded in the country, with a balance of 72 people dead and 543 injured, according to data provided by the specialized traffic body of the General Directorate of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR).
