Manicaland police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the accident.

“I can confirm that two people, who were in the haulage truck died, while others were injured,” he said.

Kakohwa could not ascertain the number of injured passengers taken to Victoria Chitepo Hospital.

When NewsDay arrived at the scene, police officers were guarding bags of stockfeed strewn across the road.

Traffic was temporarily blocked as the police and fire brigade teams laboured to remove the wreckage from the lower lane.
