Kombi Driver Jumps From Vehicle, Crashes Into Tree While Being Escorted By Police

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has said the driver of a kombi, who jumped out of the vehicle causing it to crash into a tree, was being escorted to Marimba Police Station after being arrested for a road traffic offence.

In a statement issued on Friday, January 17, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed that the owner of the kombi had been identified but claimed not to know the person driving the vehicle at the time. Below is the full ZRP statement:

The Zimbabwe Republic Police has taken note of a viral social media video of a kombi registration number, ACQ 1884 being driven along Hean Road towards High Glen Road turn-off.

The kombi driver suddenly jumped off the moving kombi resulting in the vehicle crashing onto a tree with people jumping out.
The correct position is that police officers from ZRP Marimba were manning a road block when they arrested the driver for openly contravening the provision of the Road Traffic Act, Chapter 13:11. The vehicle was impounded.

A Marimba Police Station vehicle then came to pick the police officers who had completed tour of duty. The impounded kombi’s driver was then ordered to drive to Marimba Police Station with two police officers inside the kombi, escorting it. The police vehicle was following behind.
As the kombi was moving, the driver suddenly jumped out, leaving the kombi to crash onto the tree. The driver ran away from the scene.
The kombi was later taken to ZRP Marimba by police officers. Witness statements were recorded from some of the passengers, the public and the police officers.
The owner of the kombi, Loverage Chikwape (50) of number 11076 Kuwadzana Extension, Harare has been located by the Police. He claims that he does not know the person who was driving the vehicle.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police implores kombi operators and their crew to assist in the maintenance of law and order in the country.
There is no reason whatsoever for any kombi driver to be reckless and openly cause an accident while being escorted to a Police Station with police officers and passengers inside.

Ingawani kana mota ya impoundiwa inoescotewa ku police..haa ma Zimbabwe mhunenaro dzimwe dzakangodakwa.Nhamo iri munyika yakutadzisa Vanu kuita reason. We have got to an extend were in this case people blame the police even chero mhunu we kombi atadza sei ne nhau dzekuti makuvenga police and blame them for ur problems. Zviripachena mupfana we combi atadza there is no excuse to jump of a moving vehicle and endanger passengers and only for the owner to not know the driver.

when police impound a vehicle passengers are supposed to disembark and refunded their fares. But why going with them to the police station?

How tired or maybe fat were the driver and police officers in the police vehicle that was following the kombi on the way to the police station that they could not chase the driver who they should have seen jumping out of the kombi?

They is no reason for police officers to escort someone for contravening the traffic act!! Either they impou d the vehicle (in that case they just need a tow truck) or they give the driver a ticket! Shame on you ZRP thugs .....
