A BULAWAYO woman died on the spot while 13 other people including two juveniles were injured when a Toyota Granvia driven by an unlicensed driver burst a tyre and rolled several times during a police chase along Bulawayo-Plumtree High way.
Survivors said the driver, Reason Moyo, was speeding while fleeing police and Vehicle Inspection Department (VID) roadblocks.
A police source confirmed the incident which occurred near Marula Business Centre along the Bulawayo-Plumtree Highway around 6PM on Thursday.
Ellen Ndlovu, 41, of Cowdray Park suburb, sustained severe head and body injuries which resulted in her death.
Moyo was among the injured.
His passengers said Moyo first fled from VID officers and later from a police roadblock and from then on maintained a high speed which they tried in vain to warn him about.
They said Moyo kept saying the police and VID officials were pursuing him.
According to Chronicle, a number of the passengers lost their cellphones, money and other valuables at the scene of the accident.
