The Cuban Embassy in Mexico regretted the traffic accident in Veracruz in which three compatriots lost their lives.
“Our diplomatic mission informs that it is in constant communication with the competent authorities and is taking steps to contact the families of the victims in Cuba,” the diplomatic legation said in a statement.
According to Mexican media, the driver of the crashed passenger van fled the scene.
In addition, 16 people were injured, including six minors, all of whom were being treated at a nearby hospital.
In its communiqué, the embassy insists that “Cuba advocates for a legal, safe and orderly migration that avoids damage and harm to human lives.”
"Como ha sido tradición, #Cuba 🇨🇺 aboga por una migración legal, segura y ordenada que evite perjuicios y daños a las vidas humanas".

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data show that in the last five months, a total of 47,331 Cubans entered the United States illegally. In February alone, the figure reached 16,557.
