A traffic accident that occurred on the morning of Thursday, October 3, ended the life of a 14-year-old girl in the Matanzas region, after the little person fell from a bus that was traveling in the council of Ceiba Mocha with the doors open. .
According to information shared on social networks, the girl was on board the bus when she lost her balance quickly and unexpectedly, and ended up falling out of the vehicle, hitting squarely on the pavement.
Although some of the passengers tried to warn the driver, the accident could not be avoided, and the little one lost her life.
Now, according to the Facebook page ‘Con Todos la Victoria’, the authorities are holding the driver responsible for opening the vehicle’s doors while he was being surrounded.
The publication indicates that the driver would have violated article 103-10 of the Road Safety Code, which prohibits the circulation of vehicles with the doors open.
The incident created an uproar on social networks, where several criticized the lack of security related to public transport on the Island, where goods vehicles are used to move dozens of citizens without adequate security measures.
“Unfortunate accident, my condolences to all the family. It is time for everyone to think, not only the drivers, but also the passengers who sometimes, in an emergency, do not cooperate so that the maximum number of people can travel and not going against the doors, that is a great danger. ” said one of the netizens on Facebook.
Some believe that the responsibility lies entirely with the bus driver, although many others have suggested that the car may have had too many passengers, due to the country’s transport deficit, which could have explain why the doors were not closed.
Likewise, many pointed out that they have seen similar situations in the past, where bus doors cannot close due to mechanical defects that cannot be repaired due to lack of spare parts.
At this time, no further information is known about the case, such as the identity of the minor, or if she died immediately or if she was able to reach the hospital.
