January 11, 2021
Six people, including the driver, are feared dead after a Toyota Hilux double cab vehicle was swept off a flooded bridge on Gweru River along the Gweru-Matobo Road yesterday morning.
By last night, the Gweru District Civil Protection Unit (CPU) and the police sub-aqua unit were still searching for the missing people, thought to be four men and two women.
The vehicle was still to be located although the compressor it was towing was found dumped on the riverbank, a few kilometres downstream.
Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko last night said search parties spent the whole day yesterday searching for the missing people and the vehicle, to no avail.
