Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Mzansi Express has suspended the driver of one of its buses which was captured on the widely circulated video while dangerously overtaking a haulage truck recently.<\/p>\n

The bus almost sideswiped the haulage truck, which was carrying highly flammable gas, while trying to avoid a head-on collision with an oncoming car.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Wednesday, 10 January, Mzansi Express management said it regretted the unfortunate incident and apologised to all those who were affected. It said:<\/p>\n

We at Mzansi Express regret this unfortunate situation and apologise to all those who were affected by the incident, including our valued clients.<\/p>\n

We can confirm that the responsible driver has been suspended pending a thorough investigation to ascertain exactly what transpired.
\nEarly this week, Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona issued a statement directing that the driver of the bus be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

Mhona said the video shows traffic law violations and actions that breach Sections 51, 52, and 53 of the Road Traffic Act (Chapter 13:11), which prohibit driving without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for others, negligent or dangerous driving and reckless driving.<\/p>\n

This week, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said 97 people died and 424 were injured in road traffic accidents between 15 and 26 December last year.<\/p>\n
