Zimbabwe bus crash kills at least 30
At least thirty people were killed while 36 others were injured in a road accident involving two buses along the Harare-Bulawayo highway, state media reported Friday.
One bus burst a tyre and hit a Mercedes Benz Sprinter commuter omnibus Thursday, resulting in the accident near Kwekwe town along the highway, police said.

Both drivers of the vehicles were among the dead. Local police said said 28 people died on the spot while two others died on admission at Kwekwe Hospital. Thirty-two people were in critical condition.

The accident is one of the major road accidents to occur in recent months in a country that often experiences road fatalities due to poor state of the roads and speeding, among other factors.
