One person died in Bulawayo yesterday when Joshua Dean Leza (28), who was drag racing with his friends lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a pirate taxi. The accident happened on Monday morning at the intersection of Belloc Avenue and Burns Drive.
Bulawayo Chief Fire Officer Mr Richard Peterson said,
It is said that the driver of the Toyota Aristo sedan was racing with two of his friends when the accident occurred. He lost control of the vehicle which was travelling at a high speed, hitting a stationary Honda Fit which was at an intersection resulting in it rolling three times before landing on its side…What is it that they wanted to achieve besides what ended up happening? It does not make sense that they were racing in the city.
