TWO people died while nine others were injured in a road accident involving a Nissan Caravan commuter omnibus and a bicycle that was being ridden by a nine-year-old along Kadoma-Sanyati Road.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirmed the accident which happened on Saturday.
“Two people were killed when a Nissan Caravan kombi with 18 passengers on board hit a juvenile (9) who was riding a bicycle. As a result, the kombi veered off the road to the left before overturning and landing on its left side,” the post read.
The accident occurred at the 80km peg along the Kadoma-Sanyati Road.
The commuter omnibus driver fled the scene and his whereabouts are not known.
