Police counted 384 accidents compared to 286 last year. Fewer people died despite more crashes overall. Deaths fell from 27 to 24, but injuries rose from 159 to 178. A Toyota Hiace with 18 passengers crashed on April 21 on the Harare-Bulawayo Road. The minibus flipped over after leaving the road. Three people died right away. Another person died at Norton Hospital. Fourteen others suffered injuries from this single crash. Police reported three deadly hit-and-run cases. A motorcyclist struck a pedestrian on April 19 on a dirt road near Mutoko. The victim died later at the hospital. Someone hit an unidentified man at the Tynwald flyover on April 20. He died at the scene. The same day, a Nissan Caravan hit a 66-year-old man near Whitehouse. The driver kept going. The victim died at Parirenyatwa Hospital. [/QUOTE]
