Twelve students from Versatile College in Mutare sustained injuries when their school bus collided with a goods train near Mupfumi Garage in the Willowton Industrial Area on Wednesday morning. The National Railways of Zimbabwe confirmed the incident, stating that the students had been transported to a hospital for medical treatment.
“A tragic accident occurred at Wilton Level Crossing in Mutare this morning involving a school bus and a train. Twelve students have been injured and are currently receiving treatment at the hospital,” said a spokesperson from NRZ.
Initial investigations suggest that the bus driver failed to comply with level crossing regulations, attempting to cross ahead of the oncoming train, resulting in the collision.
This incident serves as a reminder for all drivers to exercise utmost caution and strictly adhere to traffic regulations, particularly at railway crossings. Last Tuesday, a similar accident took place at a level crossing in Workington, Harare, which tragically resulted in one fatality and several injuries.
