In a tragic incident, a devastating truck accident near Chirundu has claimed the lives of a family.

The Alro Shipping truck driver, his wife, and their baby lost their lives in this unfortunate event that has sent shockwaves through the local community.

The accident occurred in the early hours of the morning on the busy Chirundu highway.

According to initial reports, the truck was traveling towards the border town when it veered off the road and crashed into a ditch.

Eyewitnesses at the scene described the crash as horrific, with the truck being severely damaged and its occupants trapped inside.

Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene, but despite their prompt response, they were unable to save the family.

The truck driver, his wife, and their one-year-old baby were pronounced dead at the scene.

Rescue workers had to use hydraulic cutting equipment to free the bodies from the mangled wreckage.

The identities of the victims are yet to be confirmed.

The driver was a seasoned professional with years of experience on the roads. Colleagues and friends described him as a cautious and skilled driver, making the news of the accident even more shocking and heartbreaking.

The driver’s wife was known for her kindness and the strong bond she shared with her husband and child.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but preliminary findings suggest that the truck may have experienced a mechanical failure, causing the driver to lose control.

Authorities are also considering the possibility of driver fatigue, as long-haul truck drivers often face grueling schedules that can lead to exhaustion.

The loss of this family has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew them.

Friends and relatives have been gathering to offer support and condolences, sharing memories and expressing their grief.

The local community is also rallying to provide assistance and comfort to the bereaved extended family.

This tragic accident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by long-haul truck drivers and the importance of road safety measures.

As investigations continue, authorities are urging drivers to remain vigilant and prioritise safety to prevent further tragedies on the roads.

Funeral arrangements for the family are underway, with many in the community expected to attend and pay their last respects.
