Four people were killed and 16 others injured when a truck flipped over
on a highway in Sancti Spiritus, a province in central Cuba, state media
reported.

The accident occurred Saturday on a road that leads to Trinidad, the
capital of Sancti Spiritus, when an Agriculture Ministry truck "rolled
over after hitting a bus stop," the official AIN news agency reported.

Four men were killed and two of the 16 people injured in the accident
are listed in serious condition at a hospital.

A total of 11,294 traffic accidents were registered in Cuba in 2014,
leaving 746 people dead and 8,831 others injured, government figures show.

The number of accidents reported last year fell, compared to 2013, but
fatalities and injuries were both up.

Traffic accidents are the No. 5 cause of death in Cuba, which has a
population of 11.1 million.

The island has a traffic mortality rate of just over six per 100,000
residents. EFE
