Police, however, are yet to release the names of the six people who perished in the tragic accident.

The Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) has attributed road accidents to speeding, overtaking error, not giving way, following too close, reversing error, negligent pedestrian/ cyclists and fatigue.

Individuals can take measures to prevent the chances of accidents when driving. These are:

  • Drive at the prescribed speed limits on the various roads. Always remember that “Speed thrills but kills”.
  • Always put on helmets, seat belts and other safety equipment before driving a bicycle/motorcycle/vehicle. Always remember that “Safety saves”.
  • Do not drink and drive. Always remember that “You cannot hold a pen properly after two pegs, what about the driving wheel?”
  • Never use mobile phones or earphones while driving. Always remember “A mobile call on the road may be the last call of your life”.
  • Know the traffic signs, signals, lights and traffic safety rules before you hit the road. Always remember that “Road safety rules are the best tools to avoid accidents”.
  • Do not drive for long hours in a stretch. Have proper breaks after every 2 hours of continuous driving. Always remember that “Man is a man and not a machine”.
