According to police, a Toyota Granvia which was travelling from Masvingo towards Zvishavane burst a tyre resulting in the driver losing control of the vehicle.
The Gravia encroached onto an oncoming Toyota Wish’s lane which was coming from the Zvishavane direction resulting in the head-on collision.
Twenty people died on the spot while three others were injured and taken to Zvishavane District Hospital.
The bodies of the deceased were taken to Masvingo Provincial Hospital, police said.
