By A Correspondent- Two people died on the spot, while four others were seriously injured after a Harare bound bus collided with a Toyota fun cargo near the 320 kilometre peg along the Harare-Bulawayo highway this Wednesday morning.

Two people who died in the accident were travelling in the Toyota Fun Cargo whose driver was seriously injured.

The bus was travelling from Botswana to Harare while the Toyota Fun cargo was travelling in the opposite direction when the accident occurred.
