Zimbabwe: Two accidents have occurred in Zimbabwe in which several passengers got injured. Eventually, both accidents happened in Harare on the same day, and the citizens expressed their rage.
The first accident took place in the morning yesterday, when a Blue Circle bus overturned at Munyati River Bridge along the Harare Masvingo Beitbridge Highway.
In the accident, several passengers got injured and were taken to Chivhu Hospital for treatment.
Another accident happened on the same day in the afternoon. The accident took place as the vehicle veered off the road and plunged into a culvert along Harare Masvingo Road near Beatrice.
In the accident, passengers who were travelling in Harare Bound Toyota Belta escaped with minor injuries.
In the photographs that were received from the incident areas, it is clearly visible that the vehicles were almost destroyed.
In the first incident, the bus can be seen completely turned over on the road and passengers standing outside the bus on the road. Another bus can be seen along with it, which might have stopped there to help.
In the second incident, the Toyota Belta car can be seen stuck in the pit, and people are standing around it searching for help.
Following the incidents, the people of Zimbabwe have shown their rage and expressed it furiously in the comment section.
A social media user and citizen of Zimbabwe, Clive Makumbinde, wrote, “It’s not all about speed, but these buses are not roadworthy… these buses need to be inspected before departure to any small town.”
Another user, Hardlife Mutema, commented, “The Road Traffic Act – as a matter of urgency must be revised… so that deterrent measures can be taken against irresponsibility drivers. The Zimbabwean laws are too lenient to traffic offenders.
Another user, Ozius Muchena, wrote, “The way things look, the bus was flying.”
James Manatsa wrote, “Wishing them a speedy recovery.”
Following the car accident also, people have filled the comment section by lashing at the car drivers.
A user, Alun Zamudio, wrote, “What do drivers do when driving, talking on cell phones and drinking and have no license.”
Joyce Tengie commented, “I am still trying to understand ‘into a drainage’ zhang. We pray the injured get the attention they need.”
Another user of social media wrote, “The state of the roads is not good enough. That’s why we are having many accidents.”
