A bus crashed into a train at the Paisley Level Crossing on Lytton Road in Harare yesterday.
The National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) reported that the bus driver tried to cross the train tracks just as the train was approaching.
The crash caused the bus to hit three cars that were trying to follow behind it to get across before the train.
Luckily, no one was hurt in the accident.
The NRZ urged all drivers, especially those of public transport, to stop at level crossings and check for trains before crossing.

They stated:
“We want to remind all road users to always stop at level crossings and ensure there are no trains coming. Ignoring this can lead to serious accidents. Drivers should be careful and follow safety rules at all crossings.”
Earlier in July, there was another incident where a lorry was hit by a train near Melfort after the lorry driver tried to beat the train to the crossing.
In the same month, there was an unfortunate event where several schoolchildren were !njured when their bus was struck by a train at the Wilton Level Crossing in Mutare.
The bus driver had not followed safety rules and attempted to cross the tracks too quickly.
