This morning, several boarding students returning to Mutero High School in Masvingo for the second term sustained injuries when their hired commuter omnibus experienced a burst tyre and overturned near Munyati River Bridge along the Harare-Masvingo Highway. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the accident on its X platform, stating, “The ZRP confirms that a Toyota Quantum Kombi was involved in a serious road traffic accident at the 106 km peg along Harare-Beitbridge Road near Chivhu whilst carrying school children from Mutero High School in Gutu, the driver and a parent. The kombi was on its way to Masvingo when the driver lost control and the Kombi over-turned three times near Munyati Bridge and landed on its wheels.” The accident occurred at around 1000 hours this morning.
