A 14-member bridal team was reportedly involved in a road accident after the driver of a kombi they were boarding lost control of the vehicle.
The accident was confirmed by Bulawayo acting chief fire officer Mr Linos Phiri who revealed that the team was rushed to Mpilo Central Hospital, Bulawayo for treatment. Phiri said:
Yes, we attended to an accident involving a bridal team which was heading to a wedding before the driver of the kombi they were travelling in lost control of the vehicle and it veered off the road.
This led to the bridal team, 14 of them, sustaining minor injuries.
They were all rushed to Mpilo Central Hospital for treatment. No one died in the accident. These were just young people but I do not have their ages.
Reports suggest that some of the members of the bridal team were hanging out of the vehicle when the accident occurred.
This resulted in some sustaining severe injuries as they landed on their heads.
Phiri warned members of the public against engaging in risky behaviours.
The Chronicle could not determine whether the wedding continued or was cancelled.
