Unlicensed Tout Crashes Kombi Into Stationery Bus
An unlicensed tout rammed a kombi into a stationary Paradise Luxury Coach at the intersection of Baines Avenue and Sam Nujoma Street yesterday, injuring four people.
The driver of the Harare-Bindura route handed the steering wheel to the tout, Tawanda Katoma, 38, of Mufakose.
Tawanda was among the four who suffered head injuries and were rushed to the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.
According to a local publication, Tawanda Munikwa, 41, was driving the Paradise Luxury Coach when Katoma collided with the right rear corner of his vehicle.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, urged commuter omnibus drivers to avoid allowing unlicenced drivers to drive their vehicles.
“Police are investigating circumstances that led to a road traffic accident that left four people injured,” said Insp Chakanza.
“Preliminary investigations have shown that a kombi driver with six passengers on board hit a stationary bus from the back along Sam Nujoma Street,” he said.
The other injured people were Precious Joseph, of Glendale, Kudzanai Maruziva of Centenary and Tsungirirai Mcinjo of Hatcliffe.
