Haulage Truck Veers Off The Road, Runs Over 6 Pedestrians And Overturns
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.
ZRP said the names of the victims will be released in due course.
