The kombi was reportedly taken to the VID after the accident. A source is quoted as saying:
The vehicle was parked next to Masvingo Magistrates Court when a speeding Police truck arrived.
Police officers began hitting the kombi with their batons and the driver drove away towards Nyika at high speed but he hit a rock at Caravan Park and the vehicle nearly overturned at the edge of the road before hitting a Shakashe River signpost causing the door to fall off throwing out passengers.
A lawyer who spoke to the publication said police are not allowed to engage in high-speed chases with vehicles carrying passengers.
