The truck driver involved in the Mabvuku accident in which six people were k!lled is facing culpable hom!cide charges.
Cops have said the truck encroached into an oncoming lane and side-swiped a Toyota Hiace kombi, before colliding head-on with another Toyota Hiace kombi.
“We are looking into those possibilities of charging the driver with culpable hom!cide and that is why we are conducting comprehensive investigations. Once investigations have been completed, the driver is likely to face six counts of culpable hom!cide.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police has established that a Howo truck, with one passenger on board, veered onto the oncoming traffic lane and side-swiped a Toyota Hiace kombi with 13 passengers on board, before having a head-on collision with another Toyota Hiace kombi with five passengers on board. As a result, six people were k!lled whilst 12 others were injured,” ZRP Commissioner Nyathi told the source.
