The bus was coming from Botswana.
When The Herald arrived at the scene at around 7:40am, police officers and Gweru City Council firefighters were busy rescuing trapped passengers while the dead bodies were being loaded into a police van.
Officer Commanding police in Midlands Province, Commissioner Partson Nyabadza, was also at the scene.
“Six passengers died on the spot, and we are making a follow-up on those who have been rushed to the hospital to ascertain their condition. We also want a manifest of the people who were on the bus,” he said.
