A Police officer was injured after an official vehicle he was driving was hit by a train while chasing after fleeing a commuter omnibus.
The incident occurred at a level crossing in Marondera on Saturday evening.
According to the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ), the cop failed to observe level crossing rules.
“The police officer failed to observe level crossing rules which instruct all drivers to stop and only proceed after establishing there is no train approaching.
“Indications are that the officer was chasing after a fleeing kombi.
“The NRZ urges motorists, including law enforcement agents, to always exercise caution when approaching level crossings.
“And never try to race an approaching train.”
