The wreckage of Lobels Bread truck after the accident
While it is taboo to rob the dead, scores of hungry villagers from Karoi apparently could not resist the temptation to do some “free shopping” from the Lobels bread delivery truck.
This comes after the Lobels delivery truck collided with a haulage truck at Buffalo Downs, a few kilometers outside Karoi on Wednesday at around 6 AM. Three Lobels employees reportedly died on the spot.May Interest you
After the accident, villagers from Karoi who seemed not appalled by the incident reportedly descended on a Lobels delivery truck and helped themselves to free loaves of bread.
Mashonaland West provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Margaret Chitove confirmed the accident to New Zimbabwe saying;
“Indeed, the accident occurred this Wednesday morning near Karoi but at present, we don’t have further information as investigations are still underway. We will revert to you as soon as we finish the compilation of the information.”
Details about the incident are still sketchy. However, according to the police report on Twitter, the haulage truck which was coming from Zambia tried to overtake another vehicle before colliding with the Lobels bread delivery truck which was headed towards Karoi.
Police and fire tender from Karoi attended the scene and retrieved the trapped bodies of the deceased.
The bodies were also taken to the Karoi Hospital mortuary.
Meanwhile, the driver of the haulage truck is said to have also been taken to Karoi Hospital where he is in stable condition.
