A bus and a haulage truck collide on the Gokwe–Kwekwe road in Zimbabwe, killing 10 people, police say. According to police spokesperson Paul Nyathi, the crash occurs on Wednesday and involves a bus carrying 36 passengers and an oncoming or overtaking truck. The passengers are reported to be traveling at about 5:00 a.m. when the collision happens. Nyathi says the deaths occur at the scene or as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. The incident is reported as one of several major road crashes that contribute to Zimbabwe’s higher road-death figures for May. One outlet notes the death toll from major road crashes reaches 41 in May, of which 10 are attributed to the Gokwe–Kwekwe accident.
While details of the cause are not fully described in the available reports, all sources agree on the location, the type of vehicles involved, the number of fatalities, and that the bus carries 36 passengers at the time of the crash.
