More die on killer road

8:19 am on 3 August 2009

At least 33 people were killed and several injured when an overtaking bus hit an oncoming truck on a notorious road in Zimbabwe.

Most of the dead were on the bus, which overturned three times.

The Harare - Masvingo road is one of the most dangerous in Zimabwe, where much of the infrastructure is in disrepair.

In March, the wife of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was killed in a car crash on the same road.

Police say the crash happened about 90km south of Harare as the bus was travelling towards Masvingo.
