Two people were killed and five others injured when a bus collided with a kombi on Sunday evening, 16 kilometres outside Gwanda along the Bulawayo-Gwanda Road.
Inspector Loveness Mangena, spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Matabeleland South Province, confirmed the incident to <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/two-die-in-kombi-and-bus-head-on-collision-along-bulawayo-gwanda-road/">Chronicle</a>.
She said that the bus, which was travelling from Bulawayo to Gwanda, was following a Nissan Liberty when the driver suddenly applied the emergency brakes to avoid hitting a group of donkeys.
To avoid crashing into the Nissan Liberty, the bus driver swerved into the lane of oncoming traffic, resulting in a collision with a kombi that was travelling from Gwanda to Bulawayo. Said Inspector Mangena:
<blockquote>
I can confirm that we recorded a fatal road accident where two females died. Two people who were in the kombi died while five others were injured.
</blockquote>
A recent report claims that transport operators in Zimbabwe are losing an average of 300 buses per year due to road traffic accidents.
