A tragic incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon in Gweru, Zimbabwe, when a woman believed to be from Bulawayo threw herself under a moving haulage truck at the intersection of Lobengula Avenue and 8th Street. The woman, who appeared visibly distressed, had been frantically running through the city, claiming she was being followed.
According to eyewitnesses, the woman approached a security guard, saying her life was in danger. The security guard told B-Metro that the woman was convinced someone was chasing her, but he thought she might be hallucinating. Moments later, the woman was spotted walking into traffic, forcing motorists to swerve to avoid hitting her.
When a haulage truck approached and hooted to warn her off the road, the woman briefly stepped aside, then suddenly threw herself under the trailer. Witnesses said the truck crushed her, resulting in instant death.
Police have launched an investigation to determine whether the woman’s claims of being chased were real or related to mental distress. The incident has sent shockwaves through the city, leaving residents reeling from the tragic turn of events.
