Two officers escaped death when their truck hit a train Tuesday night in Gweru. The Mahindra pickup suffered major damage during the crash around 8 PM. One officer needed medical care for injuries after the accident. His partner walked away without harm from the scene. The driver failed to stop at the railway crossing, according to railway officials.
Andrew Kunambura from National Railways spoke about the growing problem across Zimbabwe. A similar crash happened with a police Ford Ranger in Marondera earlier this year. Railway staff expressed concern about how often these accidents have occurred lately. Drivers must stop completely at every crossing before moving forward. Safety requires everyone to look carefully for trains instead of rushing across tracks.
