“The death toll has risen to 14 following the death of Cephas Muringani, 46, who was admitted at Howard Mission Hospital,” reads the statement postedon the ZRP twitter platform.
Police said the accident occurred at about 11pm when a Zebra Kiss bus travelling towards Mutare veered off the road and landed on its left side.
Eyewitnesses reported that the Zebra Kiss bus driver lost control while negotiating a curve at Mutare Teachers College, possibly to avoid a collision with a truck.
This accident comes barely weeks after a Zebra Kiss bus driver was sentenced to two years in prison for reckless driving after a bus he was driving was involved in an accident that killed one person and injured several others earlier this year.
