Thirteen Feared Dead in Horrific Crash Near Sebakwe River
Thirteen people are feared dead after a tragic road accident near the Sebakwe River in Kwekwe today, May 27, 2025, around 11 a.m. The crash involved a fuel tanker, a small lorry, and a Nissan AD van that was operating as a pirate taxi (mushika shika).
According to eyewitnesses, the fuel tanker first collided with a lorry. The lorry driver survived with only minor injuries, and his vehicle had little damage.

The van was completely trapped under the tanker. Witnesses described the scene as horrifying. The tanker started leaking fuel, creating a serious risk of fire, but no flames were reported.
Combined with the feared deaths from the other vehicles involved, the total number of people believed to have died has risen to 13. Authorities are still working to identify the victims and will release their names once all procedures are completed.
