A fatal road accident occurred on December 15, 2024, at around 0300hrs, at the 7km peg along the Nyika-Zaka road, and claimed one life leaving four nursing injuries.
A white Toyota Dyna, driven by 26-year-old Tinashe Nigel Chikamhi from Dzivarasekwa Extension in Harare, was involved in the accident.
The ZRP confirmed that George Dzimbire (26) from Waterfalls in Harare died on the spot. His body was taken to Silveira Mission Hospital for post-mortem.
Four other passengers were seriously injured in the accident and are currently receiving treatment.
According to eyewitnesses, the driver, Tinashe Chikamhi, was driving with five passengers on board when he failed to negotiate a curve. The vehicle swayed to the right, hit an anthill, and overturned once.
Deputy Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Masauso Patinyu confirmed the accident and urged motorists to exercise caution when driving on unfamiliar roads.
“We urge motorists to avoid speeding on roads that they are not familiar with, especially those with curves. This accident could have been avoided if the driver had been more cautious,” said Patinyu.
