The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has launched a nationwide manhunt for a motorist responsible for a fatal hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of a 16-year-old boy last Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tragic incident occurred at approximately 7:00 PM on May 24, 2025, at the 119-kilometre peg along the busy Harare-Mutare Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The juvenile victim succumbed to severe head injuries sustained during the collision and was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, confirmed the details and issued a public appeal for assistance in a statement released today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Police in Marondera are appealing for information which may assist in the investigation of a fatal hit-and-run road traffic accident which occurred at the 119-kilometre peg along Harare-Mutare Road on May 24, 2025, at around 7 PM,” Commissioner Nyathi stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He provided critical details of the incident:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“An unknown motorist hit a male juvenile, aged 16, and did not stop after the accident. The victim sustained head injuries and died on the spot.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commissioner Nyathi urged anyone with potentially relevant information to come forward immediately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Anyone with information [is requested] to report at any nearest police station.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ZRP is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident and is seeking witnesses or any details that could help identify the fleeing vehicle and driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The callous nature of the driver’s failure to stop and render assistance has added gravity to the search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
