The incident, which involved multiple vehicles, happened near the Dema turn-off, sending panic through nearby communities and stranding countless motorists.
Eyewitnesses described a scene of sudden impact and confusion.
“It happened so fast. I heard a loud screech of tires and then a huge bang. Several cars collided, and people immediately started rushing to help,” said Tinashe Chikwava, a kombi driver who was a few vehicles behind the crash.
“The road was completely blocked.”
Another witness, Ms. Anna Marimo, a vendor operating nearby, echoed the sentiment.
