A POLICE officer was injured after an official vehicle he was driving was hit by a train at a level crossing in Marondera.
The unnamed officer was chasing a fleeing Kombi and failed to observe level crossing rules which instruct all drivers to stop and only proceed after establishing there is no train approaching.
In a statement on X, the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) said the incident occurred on 18 January.
The NRZ urges motorists, including law enforcement agents, to always exercise caution when approaching level crossings and never try to race an approaching train.
