In a video doing the rounds on the internet, a Rimbi Tours bus is filmed aggressively racing with a Zebra Kiss bus on a dirt road.

The Rimbi Tours bus then tries to overtake the Zebra Kiss bus but he is blocked from doing it by the Zebra Kiss bus and gets more fierce.

Then, the bus in front changed lanes to overtake a truck, and the Rimbi Tours bus driver, thinking it was a gap to finally overtake, collides with a truck that was in the way.

The incident, per SA Trucker who obtained the footage, occurred on the Harare – Nyamapanda highway at Bondamakara in Mtoko in Zimbabwe on Tuesday afternoon:

Passengers can be heard shouting for the driver to overtake of which the person filming responds saying he is not overtaking but gathering evidence of what other busses do referring to the bus blocking their passage.

The speeding bus tailgates the one in front so closely that the passengers begs the driver to slow down.

You can see that the bus driver didn’t have a clear view of what was to come:

The crash ultimately killed the conductor who was filming the scene and left several others injured.

Tragic. Look at the damage done to the bus:

Road rules and speed limits are there for a reason, lest we forget.
