4 perish, several injured in kombi accident

FOUR people died on the spot while 16 others were injured when a Mbare-bound commuter omnibus they were travelling in rammed into the trailer of a haulage truck about 10km outside Harare along Harare-Bulawayo Highway yesterday morning.

National police spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba said all the 16 injured people were taken to Parirenyatwa Hospital with five of them said to be in a critical condition.

“Preliminary investigations show that the commuter omnibus was speeding as shown by the skid marks on the road,” Charamba said.
