Nineteen people died this morning in a road traffic head on
collision involving a Toyota commuter omnibus and a haulage truck along the
Harare-Beitbridge Road.
The accident occurred at the 89km peg at Ngezi Bridge in
Featherstone around 9.45am.
“The haulage truck was travelling from Harare behind
another commuter omnibus. The omnibus driver suddenly applied brakes resulting
in the truck driver swerving to the right to avoid hitting it. This resulted in
a head on collision with another kombi that was going the opposite direction,”
he said.
Asst Comm Nyathi said 16 people died on the spot while the
other three died on admission to a hospital. Herald
