Six people died near Mazowe Dam on Friday night along the Harare-Bindura highway when a haulage truck ferrying fertilisers from Beira to Bindura veered off the road and overturned.
The accident occurred at the 36km peg along the Harare–Mukumbura Road at around 2000 hours.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), said:
A motorist who was driving a haulage truck due north with four passengers aboard failed to negotiate a curve, veered off the road to the right, and ran over six pedestrians before the haulage truck overturned and landed on its roof.
As a result, six people, four pedestrians and two passengers died on the spot, while five others, including the driver, were injured.
