By Own Correspondent| The accident occurred near the same area where the late veteran MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s wife Susan died along the Masvingo Harare Highway.

Ngezi bridge, which is at the 89 km peg in Featherstone according to witnesses is now known as a black spot because of the many lives that have been lost around the area in tragic accidents.

Said a witness at the scene of the accident:

“The accident happened about 9am. The Colbro Truck encroached into the oncoming traffic lane and the kombi was in this lane travelling in the opposite direction.

The truck literally rode on top of the kombi and the unfortunate thing is that this happened at a bridge.

The truck crushed the kombi because the kombi went underneath the gonyet and this is why it was crushed to a pulp. People have died. It is sad, a lot of people have died.”

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the accident and said they were still carrying out investigations.

“The haulage truck was travelling from Harare behind another commuter omnibus. The omnibus driver suddenly applied brakes resulting in the truck driver swerving to the right to avoid hitting it. This resulted in a head on collision with another kombi that was going the opposite direction,” he said

A video doing the rounds on social media showed several bodies lying at the accident scene.
