A tragic incident has shaken the transport industry after a truck driver succumbed to severe injuries sustained in a violent robbery attack along the Masvingo-Chibi turnoff detour. The attack, which occurred last week, left the driver in critical condition, and despite efforts to save him, he sadly passed away on Tuesday night.
The detour, notorious for its poor lighting and ongoing roadworks, has become a hotspot for violent robberies targeting truck drivers. This latest incident adds to the growing number of attacks on drivers using the Beitbridge-Masvingo-Harare corridor.
The transport industry is calling for increased security measures to protect drivers from these violent attacks. The frequency and brutality of these incidents have raised concerns about the safety of truck drivers and the need for urgent action to address the situation.
The driver’s death serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by those on the roads. As investigations continue, the industry mourns the loss of a life cut short by senseless violence.
