The commuter omnibus was travelling from Chitsungo to Harare with 11 passengers.
Some of the injured were ferried to Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare.
Zimbabwe Republic Police Mashonaland Central Province acting spokesperson Assistant Inspector Petros Masikati alleged that the accident might have been caused by fatigue though investigations are ongoing.
