Two trains crashed into each other on Friday morning in Gwanda, leaving 13 people hurt. Police said the accident happened early at the 132-kilometer mark on the Bulawayo-Beitbridge train route. They reported a freight train hitting a passenger train carrying 47 travelers and 31 workers. The National Railways of Zimbabwe quickly told everyone these trains did not belong to them. NRZ posted online that they have nothing to do with that particular rail line because private companies run it.
The railway authority made clear they cannot speak for the private train operators involved in the crash. They simply wished all injured people a fast recovery after the accident. Many people had asked NRZ about the collision, prompting their public statement. The crash occurred in Matabeleland South province early Friday. Police confirmed all details about the head-on collision between the two trains.
