Ten people have lost their lives following a fatal road traffic accident that occurred on the Harare–Nyamapanda Road in the afternoon, sending shockwaves through the surrounding communities.

All ten passengers in the Honda Fit died as a result of the impact. The haulage truck reportedly had four occupants, none of whom were killed in the crash.
