A collision between a bus and a haulage truck killed 10 people in along the Gokwe-Kwekwe road on Wednesday, police said, bringing the country’s death toll from major road crashes to 41 in May.

Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi said the victims in Wednesday’s crash died after a bus carrying 36 passengers attempted to overtake and collided with a truck near the city of Kwekwe. More details would be released later, he said.

Road accidents involving buses, minibus taxis and unregulated sedan taxis are common in Zimbabwe and are often blamed on speeding and poor road conditions.

At least 24 people died in major crashes over the past week, including eight Roman Catholic parishioners whose vehicle plunged into a river. Earlier in May, another 17 people were killed when a bus crashed in northern Zimbabwe, most of them Malawian nationals returning home from South Africa.
