By Courts & Courts Reporter-Police have confirmed the death of over 10 people and the injury of several others in three separate road accidents.

Yesterday morning, two people died while two others were injured when three buses — Rimbi, Blue Circle and Tombs — were involved in a freak accident just before Bubi along the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge highway.

A Rimbi Bus reportedly rammed onto the trailer of a stationary Tombs bus after its driver had lost control and hit a stationary Mbokodo bus, which then overturned, leaving two passengers seriously injured.

The pile up allegedly started after a Tombs bus developed a mechanical fault and pulled off the road after hitting a donkey around 4am.

The Mbokodo bus then stopped to rescue stranded passengers who were in the Tombs bus, and then came a Rimbi bus, which hit the Tombs bus trailer, forcing it to overturn.

Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa said bodies of the deceased were taken to Beitbridge District Hospital mortuary while the injured were taken to Beitbridge District Hospital.

It is not clear where all the three buses were going.
