Several boarding students returning to Mutero High School in Masvingo for the second term were injured this morning when their hired commuter omnibus burst a tyre and overturned near Munyati River Bridge along the Harare-Masvingo Highway.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the accident on its X platform.
"The ZRP confirms that a Toyota Quantum Kombi was involved in a serious road traffic accident at the 106 km peg along Harare-Beitbridge Road near Chivhu whilst carrying school children from Mutero High School in Gutu, the driver and a parent. The kombi was on its way to Masvingo when the driver lost control and the Kombi over-turned three times near Munyati Bridge and landed on its wheels," reads the post.
The accident occurred at around 1000 hours this morning.
All the vehicle occupants are currently being treated at Chivhu General Hospital.
