A terrible thing happened on Monday. A Green Horse bus tried to cross a river that had too much water in it. This was in Gwanda, and the rushing water carried the bus away.
One person died in the accident. The police are still looking for a tiny baby who was only three months old. The bus had been going from Bulawayo to Gwanda with 75 people on board when it got into trouble at 3 PM.
Police officer Loveness Mangena told everyone what happened. She said the bus driver tried to cross the Mletshane River when it was full of flood water. The front wheel missed the bridge. Then the water pushed the whole bus away. The crash killed Sthembinto Dube, who was 33 years old and lived in Mawaza Village. The missing baby girl might have drowned.
The police and rescue teams came right away to help. Officer Mangena asked all bus drivers and other people with cars to stay away from rivers when they're full of water.
Patrick Dube owns the Green Horse bus company. He felt very sad about what happened. Someone sent him a WhatsApp message from South Africa to tell him about the crash. His company will help the people who were on the bus. He said they always do this when something bad happens.
The bus owner trusted this driver a lot. But he thinks the driver made a big mistake by trying to cross the flooded river. He wants other drivers to learn from this accident. He also asked people who ride buses to speak up if they think something isn't safe. They should tell their drivers to stop if they feel scared.
