Three Students Die in Zimbabwe Road Crash.
Two teens have been named after a crash that killed three students in Zimbabwe. The students were going to get their test scores when their van crashed.
Wayne Nyera and Danziel Genani, both 16, died from head wounds. They were from Harare, Zimbabwe's capital city. The name of the third victim has not been shared yet.
The crash took place on January 22 at 2 p.m. on the Hwedza-Mutiweshiri road. The driver, Ms. Nolan Njenjema, lost control of her Toyota van with 12 riders inside.
The van ran off the road and rolled twice before it stopped. All riders went to Mt St Mary's Hospital. Three died there. Ten others moved to hospitals in Harare and Chitungwiza for care.
Police leader Paul Nyathi asked drivers to be more careful. "Drivers should make roads safe," he said. He urged parents to watch out for their children's safety.
The Passenger Group of Zimbabwe expressed its sadness over the deaths. Its leader, Tafadzwa Goliati, wants better rules for cars and buses that carry people.
The group asked officials to find out what leads to these crashes. They want strict rules to keep more people from dying on the roads.
The students were heading to Mount St Mary's High School in Hwedza to learn how they did on their O-Level tests when the crash happened.
