It is with regret that I inform you that there has been a horrific accident on the intersection of domboshava road and Harare drive. There scene is dreadful . I have seen at least 6 deceased and about four or five ambulances in attendance. These figures will rise. I do not want to speculate at the causes at this stage.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are injured and the families of the deceased and effected .
I thank the emergency services particularly the ambulance services and the ZRP for response .PLEASE AVOID THIS AREA IN YOUR TRAVELS AS CONGESTION IS HIGH
