| File Photo: Accident on N1 in South Africa |
SEVEN Zimbabweans were killed on the spot, while nine others were seriously injured when a Musina-bound commuter omnibus they were travelling in collided with a haulage truck about 2km from Beitbridge Border Post along the N1 Highway in South Africa early yesterday.
Witnesses said the two vehicles collided around 5am near the weighbridge.
They said the driver of the border post-bound haulage truck made a right turn in front of the speeding kombi which was travelling towards Musina with 15 passengers, resulting in a collision.
“Seven people died instantly and nine others were seriously injured as a result of the collision. It was horrific.
“Bodies were strewn all over the place before emergency workers and the police took them to Musina government hospital” said Mr Phefumula Sibanda who arrived at the scene soon after the accident.
Limpopo Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ronel Otto said they had since opened a charge of culpable homicide against the truck driver. She said the deceased were conveyed to Musina government mortuary. The Chronicle
