The Government keeps looking into the big accident that happened on February 14 on the Masvingo-Beitbridge Highway. Twenty-eight people died when a bus crashed into a truck near the Lutumba tollgate in Beitbridge.
The Government stopped Urban Connect buses from running after finding out they did not have proper papers. The bus did not have good insurance for people riding in it, and it also did not have the right papers to drive on that road. The driver did not take the tests he needed to take.
Transport Minister Felix Mhona talked about this today. "I want to say sorry for the people who died in that awful crash," he said. "We need to think about many things when we talk about crashes. This driver was going very fast near the tollgate. We must ask why he did that. We also need to think about how drivers feel in their minds. A person who thinks well would not have crashed at that place."
