The Zimbabwe National Army has said several soldiers were injured when an army truck was involved in a road traffic accident in the Mushandike military training area near Masvingo on Tuesday.

ZNA director Public Relations, Colonel Alphios Makotore said the truck driver was negotiating a sharp curve on a steep slope and lost control, resulting in the truck rolling down the slope.

Colonel Makotore said it was raining in the area and the road track was slippery and this could have caused the mishap.

He said preliminary investigations are going on to establish the cause of the accident.
