The bus was travelling from Siabuwa to Binga when the accident occurred in the Samende area.
Police confirmed five passengers were killed while the number of injured still needs to be ascertained.

Deadly road accidents claim many lives in Zimbabwe every year due to poor road conditions, reckless driving and unsafe vehicles.
The bus company has been urged to improve safety standards and driver training to prevent more tragedies on the roads.
The horrific Binga bus crash shows how just a moment’s inattention by the driver can cause massive loss of life. Thoughts and prayers go out to victims’ families.
