British tourists in hospital after Cuban coach overturns
Two female British tourists are in hospital after a coach crashed in southern Cuba.
Cuban state media said Irish, Russian, Dutch, Czech and Philippine nationals were also among the 16 passengers on the bus, which overturned near the city of Cienfuegos last week.
Three women are still in hospital, including the two Britons, one of whom is in intensive care.
It is not yet known what caused the bus to swerve off the road on its way from the colonial town of Trinidad to the beach resort of Varadero.
Most roads are poorly maintained and dangers include large, unmarked potholes, and untethered animals although major accidents are relatively rare, reported the BBC’s Cuba correspondent Sarah Rainsford.
A spokesman for the embassy in Havana said it was raining at the time of the crash.
