A bus driver has told of how he ran over an unknown man last night along the Bulawayo-Harare near Brady Barracks at about 7PM.
According to The Chronicle, the victim's mangled body was run over by several vehicles before military police arrived at the scene.
Sam Mahachi of Kurai Transport, the driver of the bus, told the publication that the man was missed by another car before he hit him.
"I don't think he was mentally stable. He was nearly hit by a private car driving in the opposite direction. As he tried to run away from it he ran into my lane and there was nothing I could've done," said Mahachi who was driving from Harare.
Military police battled to control traffic but did not have enough traffic reflectors to signal motorists.
