Several Injured in Another Crash Near Chinhamo Bridge, Chitungwiza
Harare – Several people were seriously injured on Monday when a Toyota Sprinter travelling from Chitungwiza to Harare burst a tyre and veered off the road near Chinhamo Bridge, just a few kilometres from Manyame Bridge, the site of a fatal accident that claimed 17 lives last week.
According to eyewitnesses, the vehicle lost control after the front tyre burst, causing it to swerve off the road and crash into a ditch. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, and all injured passengers were rushed to Chitungwiza Hospital for treatment.
The latest accident has raised renewed concerns about road safety on this stretch of road, which has become a hotspot for deadly crashes.
Authorities are urging drivers to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy and to observe speed limits, especially on highways with high traffic volumes.
More details are expected as police continue their investigations.
