A car with children on-board rammed into a Central Business
District (CBD) shop while speeding on a one way lane on Independence Day.
The accident occurred on Saturday evening at the corner of
Chinhoyi Street and Charter Road junction and the family (name withheld) was
driving in a Toyota Harrier.
Robson Muromba, a witness to the accident, said children
were limping out of the car after a towing truck had come to rescue the family.
“The driver was speeding in a one way Chinhoyi Street and
he failed to maneuver the car when he was now at the junction.
“There are pillars before the shop but they were all
destroyed since the vehicle was speeding.
“I saw children limping out of the car and tried to help
them then a recovery car was called in to assist.
“The owners of the shop who are Indians were also at the
scene after they received a call from the guards,” explained Muromba.
A security guard who preferred anonymity told H-Metro that
he has witnessed a lot of accidents at the junction despite the markings and
pillars erected to avoid accidents.
“We were lucky it happened opposite the premises we guard
but a lot of cars having been ramming into shops around here.
“These kinds of people driving around this late with
children on board are insensible and probably he was trying to avoid the police
since he could have a permit,” he said. H Metro
