Musician Progress Chipfumo Tuesday, May 16, appeared in court facing charges of negligent driving which allegedly caused a road traffic accident along Samora Machel Avenue in Harare on March 19.

He pleaded not guilty to the offence and was released on free bail.

Chipfumo was driving a BMW X3 vehicle along Samora Machel Avenue in the inner lane.

He is alleged to have changed lanes intending to park on the left side.

The State said he did not check if the road was clear before changing from the inner to the outer lane.

Chipfumo collided with a Nissan Cube, which was being driven by Shepherd Pazara.

Both parties did not sustain injuries while Chipfumo’s car had damages on the left front door, left front bumper and fender.

Pazara’s car had frontal damage.

Trial has been set for June 7.
