2 Dead, 33 Injured In Separate Accidents Involving ZUPCO Buses

Two people tragically lost their lives while 33 were injured in separate road accidents involving ZUPCO buses on Wednesday morning in Featherstone and Marondera.

The first incident occurred around 9:30 AM along the Harare-Masvingo Road, near the 105-kilometre peg in Featherstone.

A collision took place between an Elsberry Bus and a ZUPCO bus, resulting in the death of one person.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed that twenty-six others were injured in the crash. Police said:

The ZRP confirms a fatal road traffic accident which occurred at the 105-kilometre peg along Harare-Masvingo Road in Featherstone on 06/11/24 at around 0930 hours. One person died on the spot while 26 others were injured when an Elsberry Bus collided with a ZUPCO bus.

As a result, the ZUPCO bus overturned and landed on its side. The body of the victim was taken to Chivhu General Hospital mortuary for post-mortem while the injured are admitted at the same hospital.

In the second incident, the ZRP confirmed that a ZUPCO bus veered off the Harare-Mutare Road and overturned, resulting in one fatality and leaving seven others injured. Police said:

One person died on the spot while seven others were injured when a ZUPCO bus veered off the road and overturned before landing on its roof at the 39-kilometre peg along Harare-Mutare Road on 06/11/24 at around 0745 hours.
The body of the victim was taken to Marondera Provincial Hospital mortuary for post-mortem while the injured are admitted at the same hospital.

The accidents have raised concerns about road safety and the need for heightened vigilance on the nation’s highways.

The ZRP has in the past pleaded with motorists, particularly bus drivers, to exercise extra caution to prevent road carnage.

@AFRICAN OBSERVER . WE GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE. HONESTLY SPEAKING MOST DRIVERS COULD NOT MAKE IT ACADEMICALLY SO THE OPTION WAS TO GO DRIVING. THER ARE VERY FEW LEARNED DRIVERS WHO TOOK TO THE WHEELS THROUGH DESPERATION. SO I SUPPORT THE WRITER .UNTIL WE CHANGE POLICY AND FORCE THOSE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO FIRSTLY QUALIFY ACADEMICALLY THEN PURSUE PUBLIC DRIVING COURSES AS A DIPLOMA OR SOMETHING THE CARNAGE WILL NOT CEASE. EVEN THE BEHAVIOR OF THE BUS DRIVERS AND THEIR TOTS EXPOSE THEIR FAILED ACADEMIA. THEY BEHAVE THE SAME WAY. GO TO ZAMBIA MALAWI RSA NIGERIA DRC AND ZIMBABWE,THEIR MENTALLITY IS THE SAME BECAUSE THEY FAILED IN SCHOOL AND THE LICENSE CAME AS AS. A. RESCUE.

most zupco white bus (belerus) accidents occur when its raining or after rain when the road is still wet, seem these buses are prone to hydroplaning

Isatanism here! Is it bcoz drivers are negligent or have joined satanism.Road users respect life and prove to the world that good roads help in alleviating road carnages.
