Four people lost their lives yesterday when a large truck smashed into multiple cars and ran down pedestrians near Christmas Pass in Mutare. The truck fell onto its roof after losing control and going downhill. Many others suffered injuries during this terrible crash. The accident happened at approximately 12:40 PM on the road connecting Harare to Mutare.
Police official Paul Nyathi shared information about the deadly event. Three victims died right away at the crash site. The fourth person passed away after reaching Victoria Chitepo Hospital for treatment. The truck carried a heavy load of cement bags when it careened out of control. People who saw the accident reported the truck experienced complete brake failure.
The massive vehicle struck four separate cars before hitting four pedestrians walking nearby. After crashing through everything in its path, the truck flipped over completely. The dangerous mountain section of the road has seen previous accidents. Commissioner Nyathi mentioned the police department would release additional information about the crash soon.
