The World - News from June 27, 1988

At least 25 people were killed and 84 were injured in Havana when a passenger train struck a packed bus, Cuba’s national news agency reported. It said that 82 of the injured remained hospitalized. Cuban officials called it the worst road accident in a decade and voiced fears that the death toll would rise. The train crashed into the bus at a railroad crossing in the working-class district of Guanabacoa. The worst Cuban traffic accident in recent times occurred in 1976, when 54 died as two runaway rail cars slammed into a bus.
