Chipinge – A top magistrate for Chipinge Magistrates’ Court was killed in a head on collision in the wee hours of Sunday morning after his car swerved across into an oncoming (so called Gonyet) truck’s path.
Emergency responders found at around 00:30 a.m. a mangled scene after the bridge at Wengezi, where his car collided with the truck, which was loaded with transported goods.
Magistrate Waeni Makamera died on his way to Mutambara Hospital after being rescued by an ambulance.
Present in the car was the magistrate’s friend by name “Simba” a CBZ Chipinge employee and one Sam Semwayo who works for Chipinge Town Council.
The driver of the truck was unhurt.
Investigators are still unsure what caused magistrate Waeni’s car to move into oncoming traffic.
A small amount of diesel fuel was spilled in the crash.
The late magistrate had been on his way to Mutare while the truck was coming from that city.
The accident comes barely a few hours before the Nyamapanda road one in which 27 people were slain. ALSO READ-WARNING: DISTURBING PICTURES – 25 Dead In Nyamapanda Road Accident

It’s always sad to lose a life via an accident. From a DEFENSIVE DRIVING point of view it’s very dangerous to drive at night coz that’s the time that we’re normally asleep and clear visibility of the surroundings is very limited. So sleeping at the wheel could have been a major causative factor in this case.
