MORE DETAILS: Young Boy Killed in Hit-and-Run Near Trabablas Interchange – A tragic hit-and-run incident claimed the life of a young boy on Thursday evening, just 100 metres before the Trabablas Interchange, according to reports circulating on social media.
The incident occurred around 6:30 PM, and the child is believed to have died on the spot.
Eyewitnesses say the boy was struck by a speeding commuter omnibus (kombi), whose driver failed to stop after the collision.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) responded swiftly to the scene and have since removed the body.
Authorities have launched an investigation and are currently working to identify the vehicle and bring the driver to justice.
In a separate but equally disturbing incident, another pedestrian was hit by a car near Boka, just moments before the tragedy at Trabablas.
Police officers were reported to be at the second scene as well, attending to the victim and gathering evidence.

Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed either incident or has information that could assist in the investigations to come forward.
