“We appeal to motorists to avoid speeding and exercise a high degree of caution on the roads. Such accidents can be avoided with vigilance and adherence to speed limits,” he said.
Circumstances are that the driver Musekiwa Josiah (50) of Kwekwe was driving a white Toyota Dyna truck carrying three passengers when the accident occurred.
