Zimbabwe crash involving church minibus kills 27

A minibus carrying churchgoers crashed head-on with a truck in central Zimbabwe, killing at least 27 people and injuring seven others. The collision occurred near Chivhu, approximately 140 kilometers south of Harare, on a major highway. Police stated the foreign-registered truck was overtaking another vehicle when the crash happened. The incident highlights Zimbabwe's ongoing road safety crisis, with authorities noting that 94% of road accidents result from human error. The country's infrastructure suffers from years of underfunding and neglect, leading to dangerous conditions. Similar fatal accidents have recently occurred, including a minibus fire that killed 18 people and a collision that claimed the lives of a mother and her five children.
