13 Emmanuel High School learners as well as the driver and conductor were injured when an Inter Africa bus they were travelling in was involved in an accident yesterday afternoon at the 68km peg along the Nyanga-Rwenya Road near the spot where the fatal Regina Coeli bus disaster occurred in 1991.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Inspector Nobert Muzondo confirmed the accident, saying the bus had 73 learners on board who were on their way to the school for the start of the second term.
The injured were ferried to Regina Coeli Mission Hospital.
“An Inter Africa bus carrying 73 learners to Emmanuel High School was involved in an accident yesterday along the Nyanga-Rwenya Road. The driver lost control of the bus when it developed brake failure before it veered off the road. It landed on its left side on the roadside escarpment,” said Inspector Muzondo.
Inspector Muzondo urged motorists and other road users to exercise caution at all times on the roads.
