Just a few kilometres from the site of last week’s deadly Manyame Bridge accident that claimed 17 lives, another horrific road traffic incident has occurred — this time near Chinhamo Bridge.
According toZBC News, several passengers were seriously injured when a Mercedes Benz Sprinter commuter omnibus, travelling from Chitungwiza to Harare, burst a tyre and veered off the road on Tuesday.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, and the injured were ferried to Chitungwiza Hospital for urgent medical attention.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is yet to release an official statement on the incident.
The crash comes barely a week after the nation was plunged into mourning following a high-impact collision involving a Honda Fit and a truck at nearby Manyame Bridge — a tragic reminder of the worsening road safety crisis along this busy corridor.
Road safety advocates are once again calling for immediate interventions, including routine vehicle inspections, driver education, and stricter enforcement of traffic laws.
