The Bulawayo community was this morning shocked to wake up to news that 16 people could have been crushed to death in a mini bus while taking the body of a deceased relative outside the city.
The sixteen, together with the relative’s corpse, were crushed under a heavy vehicle when the driver of the oncoming beast hit a pothole and lost control of the huge truck resulting in the truck overturning and landing on the mini bus which was travelling from the opposite direction.
At the time of writing details of the accident were still sketchy, but the Bulawayo Gwanda road just after the National University of Science and Technology is currently closed off as police and emergency services crews descend onto the accident site.
More details will be made available as they unfold. – ZimEye
If the police had mounted a road block near the pothole to warn motorists of this hazard (as well as collecting their usual toll fees) lives could have been saved. Even just mounting Police Ahead signs on either side of the pothole would have been sufficient to avoid this carnage.

This clueless government must deploy police to worn people on pothole ahead instead of them having road block as a cash cow????
