FIVE people died when a commuter omnibus collided head-on with a truck.
In a statement last night, national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the accident occurred yesterday afternoon at the 37km peg along the Harare-Bindura Highway.
“Five people were killed, while 13 others were injured when a kombi carrying 18 passengers was involved in a head-on collision with a MAN truck with three passengers on board,” he said.
“Subsequently, the kombi side-swiped with a Toyota Belta vehicle with three passengers on board.”
Nyathi said the bodies of the victims were taken to Concession Hospital mortuary for post-mortem, while the injured were admitted to the same hospital.
