Four people died on the spot and two others were seriously injured after two vehicles were involved in a head on collision along the Harare - Bulawayo road, 4 kilometres before Norton.
An eye witness Mr Washington Chizeme said the four died after one of the vehicles that was coming from Norton had a tyre burst resulting in the driver losing control and changing lanes and colliding with another car which was coming from Harare.
One of the survivors who was in the car coming from Harare, Magistrate John Masimba, said they were surprised to see a vehicle encroaching into their lane unexpectedly.
Mr Masimba revealed that no one died from the vehicle they were travelling in.
Norton Fire Brigade division officer Sidney Muvhurume, and police Inspector Ndebele both confirmed that more investigations into the cause of the accident are underway.
Police are withholding names of the deceased as they are yet to notify their next of kin.
The injured are receiving treatment at the Norton District Hospital.
Carnage on Zimbabwe's roads has become a cause for concern as people continue to lose their lives on a daily basis.
