A 50-year-old woman died after being hit by a vehicle driven by a provisional licence holder along the Mount Darwin-Rushinga Highway yesterday.
The accident occurred at the 4-kilometre peg when Pamela Zhlala (38), of Kandeya Village in Mount Darwin, allegedly struck Esnath Bobo (50) with her Toyota Probox, registration number AGR 0154.
Mashonaland Central provincial police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe confirmed the accident.
He urged provisional licence holders to observe road safety regulations to prevent fatal accidents.
“Provisional licence holders should ensure that their vehicles display L plates, drive at safe speeds and always have an experienced driver accompanying them,” said Mundembe.
Bobo’s body was taken to Mount Darwin mortuary for safe keeping.
Authorities continue to urge motorists to exercise caution and adhere to road safety regulations to protect other road users.
