The driver fled on foot, leaving three passengers injured
in the freak accident that occurred today, 26 May, around 5pm.
When the Chronicle arrived at the scene, the Fire Brigade
was leaving and the car was still in the river while the injured had been
ferried to the nearby Mpilo Central Hospital. Among the passengers were three
children who are said to have escaped unhurt.
The driver of the vehicle, a relative said, ran away after
the accident. Bystanders said the place has become a black spot after a number
of accidents occurred there.
“The driver was a mechanic who had been called to check the
car as it was faulty but he disappeared and we haven’t been able to locate
him,” said a person who declined to be named but claimed to be related to the
victims.
Bulawayo Police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube was
not reachable for comment. Chronicle
