Tourist’s car crashes into guard post at Tejas Corner, Havana

Theo

A Tourist car crashed into a post at the famous Tejas Corner in the Cerro district of Havana.

Photos shared in the Facebook group »ACCIDENTS WITH BUSES AND TRUCKS – for more experience and fewer victims!” by the user Dania Gutierrez Cala show the serious damage the vehicle suffered. “This is when you come from Infanta and turn right to look for Monte. In the background is the 20-story park,” she explained in a comment.

“And the driver escaped unscathed, even though it seems unbelievable,” she noted.

Another group member named Javier Ernesto Ocaña Lopez reported that the car passed him on Infanta Street at 100 kilometers per hour, and after the collision he was the one who helped the driver and SIUM (Emergency Medicine). “It’s one thing to have a bad day and crash, or to wreck a car like that while under the influence of alcohol. He could just as easily have hit a pedestrian, be it a child, a teenager or an adult,” he asked.

“Just from the driver’s voice, you could clearly detect the smell of alcohol on his breath,” he assured. According to Ocaña López, if the driver is still alive, it is thanks to the deployment of both airbags, his and the passenger seat.

In another post in the same group, he detailed how the left tyres lifted off at such high speed and the car lost its front number plate due to the impact. “He overtook me on Infanta Road at over 100, I was in my Moskvitch and it almost knocked me off my feet. At that speed he hit the knife edge of Tejas curve and this was the result. Head-on into the iron post there, he should thank God and the airbag that was deployed. He was driving with over 100 degrees of alcohol in his drinks. God bless him and may nothing bad happen to him because now the pain starts. Alcohol and driving do not mix,” he stressed.

“Thank God there were no people around at that hour, otherwise he would have hit someone,” he stressed.
