He said:<\/p>\n<p>It was around 3.30 pm when we heard two loud bangs and when we rushed to the road to investigate, we discovered there was an accident involving two vehicles: a Granvia, which had passengers who appeared to be elderly people said to be going to a funeral, and a Toyota Wish that was going towards Masvingo.<\/p>\n<p>We tried to rescue some of the passengers, but we failed to pull apart the vehicles and we had to rush back home to look for an iron bar that we used to rescue some of the people who were still breathing.<\/p>\n<p>Among the dead in the Wish was a police officer based at Buchwa Police Station, Lincoln Muungani (28), the only son in his family.<\/p>\n<p>He was pulled out of the wreckage alive but later succumbed to his injuries at Zvishavane District Hospital around 6 pm on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln\u2019s father, Xavier Muungani (64) of Bulawayo, came with one of Lincoln\u2019s sisters, Noreen Willie and other relatives. He said:<\/p>\n<p>I received the message of my only son\u2019s passing on around 8 pm and by then it was already late so we decided to travel to Zvishavane mortuary today to collect his body. I checked his body. It was badly injured and covered in blood.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed the impact of the crash was too much because the body had deep cuts while some of the ribs were broken. My son surely died a very painful death and I am devastated.<\/p>\n<p>Police commanders from Masvingo led by Assistant Commissioners Florence Marume and Fredrick Mbemgwa were at the crash site yesterday as their teams continued recovering the remains and the wreckage.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after visiting the crash site with senior police commanders, provincial police spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa said:<\/p>\n<p>Police commanders decided to visit the crash site so that we can see for ourselves the situation on the ground and this is part of investigations that are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment we only know that the Toyota Granvia burst one of its tyres but investigations are continuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
