Fourteen farmers died early yesterday morning when the Bedford truck they were travelling in overturned on the Selborne-Aberfoyle road in Honde Valley.
In the afternoon, 10 people died -- six of them on the spot -- when a commuter omnibus they were travelling in overturned along the Harare-Bindura Road.
Earlier in the day, nine passengers died when another kombi met the same fate along the Harare-Gweru Road.
The accidents have been attributed to brake failure, speeding and tyre bursts.
In the Honde Valley accident, 11 people were killed on the spot while three died on admission to Hauna Hospital.
Seven of the injured were taken to Mutare General Hospital while one was admitted at Hauna Hospital.
The lorry had 22 passengers on board.
Uh oh, I hope this is not another Toyota case…Either way there must be something that can be done to prevent un-well cars from going on the road, but how many cars wil they check? Or will this be 'Callin all cars and trucks for checkup' moment
