The accident happened at the Susunje River stretch, a known danger point along the busy Harare–Chirundu Highway. The road is notorious for head-on collisions, especially at night.
Eyewitnesses who arrived shortly after the crash said the impact was severe, with debris scattered across the highway. One witness said:
“We saw the Honda Fit badly damaged and the truck lying on its side. It was a frightening sight.” [I cannot verify this]
