A SOUTH Africa-bound haulage truck transporting coal from Hwange overturned at the 67km peg along the Bulawayo-Plumtree Highway early this morning.
Preliminary reports suggest that the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, leading to the accident. The unnamed driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and has been transported to a hospital in Bulawayo for treatment.
Emergency services are on-site, working to remove the overturned truck, which is obstructing a portion of the busy highway. Authorities are urging motorists to exercise caution and seek alternative routes as efforts continue to clear the road and restore normal traffic flow.
