Zimbabwe Accident News: There is news of a horrific road accident in Zimbabwe. According to the information, 22 people have died tragically in this accident. This horrific accident happened in a head-on collision between a taxi and a truck. A large number of people have been injured in the accident, who have been admitted to the hospital. A minibus taxi collided head-on with a truck in south-western Zimbabwe, killing 22 people. Police gave this information on Wednesday.

Injured were taken to hospital

Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi said that two people injured in the accident that happened on Tuesday night have been admitted to the hospital. Nyathi said in a statement that the accident occurred on the highway linking Bulawayo, the country’s second-largest city, with Beitbridge, a city bordering neighboring South Africa. The economy of Zimbabwe, a country with a population of about 15 million, has been affected by currency crisis and high inflation for years.

Road accidents common in Zimbabwe

In such a situation, many people here keep traveling to South Africa to buy goods to sell or to buy goods for personal use. Many people keep coming and going to meet family or for work. Road accidents are becoming more common in Zimbabwe.

What is the reason for more accidents?

The biggest reason for this is that some drivers load more goods in the vehicle than the prescribed capacity or drive the vehicles at more than the prescribed speed. The poor condition of the roads here is also one of the main reasons for accidents. However, in recent years some major highways have been improved.
