HAVANA (AP) ? Two Europeans who were traveling with Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya when he died in a car crash are denying speculation that a second vehicle was involved.

Driver and Spanish citizen Angel Carromero backs up investigators' report that he braked abruptly after entering an unpaved construction zone and lost control.

Carromero said Monday: "No vehicle hit us from behind."

Swedish citizen Jens Aron Modig confirmed the account and asked that the accident not be used "for political purposes."

Both are members of center-right political parties in their home countries. They said they traveled to Cuba to bring 4,000 euros ($4,900) to Paya and organize dissident political youth wings.
