Two people died in separate road accidents that occurred in Madziwa and Rusape at the weekend.<\/p>\n
One person died, while four others were injured when a Mazda pick-up truck they were travelling in veered off the road at the 11-kilometre peg along Madziwa-Muringamombe Road on Friday last week.<\/p>\n
The driver, Courage Kasavaya of Nyamaropa village in Madziva, reportedly failed to negotiate a curve and lost control of the vehicle, which veered off the road and overturned several times leading to Lizzy Kasavaya (50), dying on the spot.<\/p>\n
Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe confirmed the accident.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can confirm a fatal accident that killed one female passenger on the spot in Madziwa, the cause of accident was speeding and negligence,\u201d Mundembe said.<\/p>\n
When NewsDay arrived at the scene, scores of people were helping the injured and the driver had fled from the scene.<\/p>\n
The police warned drivers to exercise extreme caution on the roads in a bid to save lives.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a six-year-old boy from Rusape died after falling from the scorch-cart on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Manicaland police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakokwa confirmed the incident yesterday.<\/p>\n
Kakokwa said Believe Zimbodza (6) was riding in a scorch-cart that was being led by his 14-year-old brother on their way to fetch firewood in village 21 under Chief Chikoore in Mayo, Rusape district.<\/p>\n
One of the wheels rammed into a tree-log and the now deceased was thrown out and landed on his head. He started to bleed profusely from the mouth and nose and fell unconscious.<\/p>\n
The deceased\u2019s brother rushed home and told his mother Sheila Mbore (34), who then took the minor to Mayo Clinic, where he was pronounced dead on admission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
