Bus, Two Kombis Collide, Leaving 11 Injured On Mutare-Chimanimani Road

Eleven people were injured when two commuter omnibuses and a bus collided along the Mutare-Chimanimani Road on Saturday night.

Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka confirmed the accident.

“The crash happened yesterday around 8:30 pm at the 32km peg near the 22 Miles Tollgate. A Toyota Hiace, commonly known as a Baby Quantum, was travelling towards Mutare with five passengers on board when it rammed into the rear of an Inter Africa bus carrying 30 passengers,” he said.

“The impact caused the Hiace to veer into the opposite lane and collide head-on with a Nissan NV350 minibus that was carrying 18 passengers.”

Chinyoka said four passengers in the Toyota Hiace and seven in the Nissan NV350 were injured and taken to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital for treatment.

He said the two commuter omnibuses were extensively damaged, while the bus sustained damage to its bumper.

Chinyoka urged motorists to exercise caution at all times.
