A 26-year-old man in Zambezi District has died after being involved in a horrific motorcycle accident right at the entrance of the Zambezi District Hospital.

The deceased, identified as Blessings Chinyama, met his fate yesterday in a freak accident involving two motorcycles and an oxcart.

According to an eyewitness, Dennis Kawembo, Mr Chinyama was riding his motorbike when he encountered an oncoming oxcart and moved to the side of the road to allow it passage. 

However, in the process of maneuvering, he lost control and had a head-on collision with another motorcycle that was coming from the opposite direction.

 The impact of the crash threw Mr Chinyama forward, and the other motorcycle subsequently landed on him, causing fatal injuries.

Zambezi District Health Director (DHD), Digani Daka, confirmed the incident and expressed deep sadness over the incident, describing the loss of such a young life as a tragedy that could have been avoided.
