Seven people lost their lives early this morning, and eight more got hurt when a passenger van crashed into a big rig on the highway from Harare to Bulawayo. It happened right by the Dzivarasekwa exit. After the van and the semi collided, the van also smashed into a Nissan UD truck.
The cops said the van driver didn't yield at a traffic light near the Thuli Service Station, which caused the wreck. The national police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, confirmed it went down and said they'll give out more information soon.
The crash site, known by locals as Pamagetsi, has turned into a real danger zone. Deadly accidents keep happening there all the time. It's a major problem spot on that stretch of road.
The community is shaken up by this tragedy. Losing seven lives in one fell swoop like that is just heartbreaking. And eight more people are suffering with injuries. Folks are hoping the police can figure out exactly what happened and find ways to keep people safer out there on the highway.
