Three-Vehicle Crash On Harare–Bulawayo Road Leaves Two Dead

Two people died in a three-vehicle collision at the 260 km peg along the Harare–Bulawayo Road shortly before 4 PM on Wednesday, 25 March.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the accident, saying a Ford Ranger travelling towards Kwekwe with one passenger collided head-on with a Toyota Mark X carrying two passengers.

The impact caused the Toyota Mark X to spin, face the opposite direction, and then collide with a Honda Fit carrying four passengers. The ZRP said:

“The ZRP reports a fatal road traffic accident which occurred at the 260 km peg along Harare –Bulawayo Road on 25/03/26 at around 1550 hours, in which two people lost their lives.

“A Ford Ranger, travelling towards Kwekwe with one passenger on board, collided head-on with a Toyota Mark X carrying two passengers.

“Following the impact, the Toyota Mark X spun, faced the opposite direction and subsequently collided with a Honda Fit, which had four passengers.

“As a result of the accident, two passengers from the Toyota Mark X died.”

In an unrelated incident, the ZRP confirmed the arrest of Ryan Pondamakara (28) in connection with a stock theft case at Mbombela Village, Silobela, on Tuesday.

Police said the suspect, who was driving a Toyota Fortuner, allegedly stole 10 goats from two complainants.

Pondamakara was intercepted by officers on patrol and attempted to flee, but was apprehended after his vehicle veered off the road and fell into a ditch. The stolen goats were recovered from the Toyota Fortuner.
