By Dorrothy Moyo | ZimEye | A tragic accident occurred this morning in Mutare when a large haulage truck lost control and veered off the road, crashing directly into a residential home. The scene is one of devastation as the truck plowed through the house, causing significant structural damage and leaving the occupants and the community in shock.

According to witnesses at the scene, the truck, which was transporting goods, appeared to have suffered a mechanical failure before it swerved uncontrollably off the road. The impact was severe, demolishing a substantial portion of the house’s walls and roof, and scattering debris across the surrounding area. The front of the truck is seen lodged deep into the home, with its cargo still partially covered by a large tarp.

Rescue efforts were immediately initiated, with emergency services and local residents working tirelessly to search through the rubble for any individuals who might have been trapped inside. The extent of injuries or potential fatalities is yet to be confirmed, but the severity of the crash has left the community deeply concerned for those who were inside the house at the time of the accident.

The house, which now stands partially collapsed, bears the scars of the incident—a heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of life. The force of the impact tore through brick walls, dislodging chunks of masonry and leaving behind a scene of utter destruction. Personal belongings of the residents, mixed with debris, lay strewn across the area, highlighting the sudden and devastating nature of the event.

As the community rallies around the affected family, the incident has raised serious questions about road safety, particularly concerning large vehicles navigating residential areas. Local authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the crash to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again in the future.

Further updates will follow as more information becomes available from the ongoing rescue and investigation efforts.
