The bus, which was carrying 55 passengers, was heading to the City of Kings when disaster struck. Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as luggage and passengers were thrown across the aisle amid screams for help.
National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident, saying six passengers sustained injuries and were rushed to Parirenyatwa Hospital for treatment.
