This unfortunate incident highlights the concerning trend of accidents that tend to occur during holidays, when travel increases and road traffic volume rises. The intensified traffic density amplifies the likelihood of accidents transpiring. Furthermore, holidays often witness an upsurge in alcohol consumption and impaired driving as people engage in festive celebrations and social gatherings. The resultant increase in incidents involving drunk driving significantly escalates the risk of accidents. Additionally, holidays can bring about heightened stress, fatigue, and distractions, leading to reckless driving behaviours and reduced attentiveness on the road. The combination of long-distance travel and disrupted routines can also contribute to driver fatigue, compromising reaction times and judgment. Authorities continually stress the importance of alertness on the roads, as human error remains a significant contributor to accidents in Zimbabwe. Both motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution and prioritise safety to mitigate the occurrence of such tragic incidents. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
