Vehicular accidents kill 73 in first 10
months of 2004
HAVANA, January 5 (www.cubanet.org) -
During the first 10 months of last year,
73 people were killed and another 329 injured
in vehicular accidents in Cuba, according
to figures released by the National Transit
Division.
The agency blamed maintenance and poor
driving for the accidents.
Many of the accidents involved trucks carrying
passengers, wagons pulled by horses and
bicycles and pedicabs, as a result of a
shortage of mass transit vehicles.
Last September Cuba hosted the International
Commercial Transportation Fair at which
73 companies from 19 countries showed their
vehicles.
