At least 10 people were killed, while several others were
injured when a Kwekwe-bound kombi collided head-on with a bus about 25km
outside Gweru yesterday evening.
When The Herald arrived at the scene, some bodies were
still on the tarmac. All the dead were in the kombi, which had its roof ripped
off on impact.
According to police officers at the scene, no one survived
in the kombi, while a few people from the bus, owned by Birdgreen Transport Pvt Ltd, were injured and
ferried to Gweru Provincial Hospital.
“I boarded this bus from Kadoma, but all the way we were
complaining of the speed. “The driver then tried to overtake another bus on
this curve resulting in the head-on collision with the oncoming kombi,” said
Mrs Marvelous Marova.
Another witness, Mr Kelvin Zimuto said no one survived in
the kombi. “The driver of the bus I was travelling in is to blame. He was just
speeding for nothing and imagine everyone in the kombi was crushed,” he
mourned.
Last night, Police Officer Commanding Midlands Province,
Commissioner Moses Magande, confirmed the accident and said investigations were
underway. Herald
