A Bulawayo Council Cop has been fingered as the cause of a Commuter Omnibus crash which destroyed a shop in the Bulawayo CBD.
Witnesses allege that a struggle between a kombi driver and Municipal policeman led to the Kombi zig zaging along Robert Mugabe way,near Stunts Sports Bar resulting in the crash.
Josphat Khumalo,the kombi driver,told a local publication that the council cop entered the car and declared that he had impounded the vehicle.
This resulted in the two scurrying with the steering wheel, the cop attempting to stop the car whilst the driver attempting to drive off.
Khumalo claimed that after crossing Robert Mugabe way, he turned to park the vehicle because he couldn't see where he was going because of the fight.
The kombi overshot the kerb and smashed into a shop.
Senior BCC public relations officer, Nesisa Mpofu, said she had not yet received such a report but hinted that council will open an investigation into the matter.
