Eyewitness Shock and Growing Concerns

Eyewitnesses in the area described the scene as harrowing.

The tragedy has reignited concerns about road safety in the region. Commenting on social media, Jobert Ngwenya wrote:

“I am not sure whether I am only being very sensitive this year, but I think since June or so, there’s been a fatal accident almost every two weeks. What’s an outlier is that the number of deaths are always averaging five. Something is definitely not right.”

His sentiments echoed locals’ growing frustration and fear about the frequency of accidents on Zimbabwe’s roads.

Authorities Urged to Act

The accident has drawn calls for immediate action to improve road safety. While investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing, locals believe poor road conditions and reckless driving are contributing factors.

“This is not the first time we’ve seen accidents like this in the area. It’s high time something is done to address the issue,” said another resident.

The identities of the deceased have not yet been released, as authorities are still working to notify their families.

More details will follow as investigations continue.
