Two Roman Catholic priests died on the spot when their Nissan twin cab truck hit Mupfure bridge rails at the 67 kilometre peg along the Bindura-Mt Darwin road near Mt Darwin Business Centre early Saturday morning.
The deceased who were the only occupants in the vehicle have been identified as Father Ignatious Kariati (36) and Father Alfred Matonhodze (35).
It is suspected that the driver lost control of the vehicle before crashing into the bridge overhead rails.
In separate interviews people who were first at the scene of the accident said it took Bindura municipality fire brigade over two hours to cut through the wreckage to retrieve the bodies.
Kriste Mambo Mt Darwin Priest-in-Charge Father Rongai Chasarira and the Chairperson of the National Council of Priests Father Clifford Nhetekwa said the death of the two priests is a great loss to the Mt Darwin community.
The late Father Kariati was ordained in 2013 while Father Matonhodze was ordained last year. Burial arrangements will be announced in due course.

  1. Its important to pray while driving. What seems like accidents frequently are caused by demons. There are testimonies of drivers who swerved to avoid things they see which others do not. These are spirits out to cause accidents.
    Many will laugh and think its ridiculous but its not.
