Two Die in Harare-Mutare Road Head-On Crash

Two people died in a head-on collision between a truck and a light commercial vehicle on the Harare-Mutare road, Zimeye reported. The crash adds to a spate of fatal accidents that have prompted police warnings against night travel. The accident occurred on a stretch of highway notorious for poor lighting and narrow lanes, with many crashes attributed to overtaking errors and speeding. Police have urged motorists to avoid night driving, but enforcement remains sporadic and roadworthiness checks are rare. With highway infrastructure remaining poor and enforcement lax, the death toll is likely to keep rising. The persistent carnage deepens the public health crisis on Zimbabwe's roads, costing the economy millions in lost productivity and healthcare expenses.
