Motorist recounts Priscilla Chigumba accident

The X page of Crime Watch Zimbabwe shared a message from a motorist who was also a victim in the accident involving ZEC chair lady Priscilla Chigumba.

In the message, the traumatised parent shared that she was driving with her 3-year-old daughter as a passenger in her car after a family visit.

How the accident happened

The motorist shared that a 300-series Land Cruiser pulled into oncoming traffic from behind a truck. A Blue Honda Fit motorist was driving behind the Landcruiser.

The motorist, who was driving at a safe distance behind the two cars, began to brake and drive to the left after seeing the accident begin to happen. According to the narration, a petrol tanker tried to swerve off the road to avoid the Landcruiser and collided with the car’s front right. The Landcruiser spun off the road. The tanker’s cab was directed towards the motorist, who had braked trying to be safe and hit the right side door.

Her back right wheel was hit with an impact that sheared it off and flipped the car over. The vehicle landed on its roof, and the petrol tanker driver helped the passengers strapped in to get out safely.

The motorist’s plea

After narrating her ordeal, the victim shared that she hopes the post reaches the right people who will repair the Chirundu road. She warned other motorists to wear seat belts and leave a safe distance between the cars in front of them.

However, her narration puts the ZEC chairperson at fault in the whole ordeal, and it does not go unnoticed by X users. Many comments are calling for Chigumba to be held accountable for reckless driving. Below are some of the comments under the post:
