At Least 3 Zimbabweans Perish In Horror Crash In Zambia

At least three Zimbabwean citizens were killed in Zambia on Sunday morning when a fire broke out following a three-truck pile up at the Kapiringozi Escarpment along the Chirundu-Kafue Road.

Reports from Zambia indicate that one of the drivers of the trucks lost control of the vehicle as it was descending the mountainous area due to excessive speeding.

The vehicle then rammed into an oncoming truck before hitting a broken down truck, igniting a huge fireball as one of the trucks was carrying suspected Jet1 Fuel.

Zambian police and fire brigade managed to put out the fire but the number of people who have died in the accident has not yet been established.
