The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed a fatal road accident that claimed the life of a 67-year-old man, Shadreck Makomo, on October 25, 2024, along the Harare-Bulawayo Road near Gweru.
The incident occurred around 0940 hours when a Mercedes Benz, driven by Kilmore Nyamutsambira (42) from Norton, collided head-on with Makomo’s Toyota Hilux. Police reported that Nyamutsambira, traveling towards Harare, overtook another vehicle, encroaching into the oncoming lane and crashing into Makomo’s vehicle.
Makomo, a resident of Windsor Park in Gweru, died on the spot, while Nyamutsambira and the two passengers—one from each vehicle—sustained serious injuries.
Police have urged motorists to drive cautiously and maintain vigilance on the roads.
