WHO is the killer driver who hit and killed a man who was found dead along Nelson Mandela Avenue in Harare on Sunday?

The accident happened near Morgan Tsvangirai House in Harare’s CBD.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, said the deceased has been identified as Tafadzwa Bigboy Chiyangwa (37).

He said the body showed injuries which were consistent with a road traffic accident.

“Preliminary investigations indicate that the victim was struck by an unknown motor vehicle whose driver failed to stop after the incident,” he said.

Police believe the accident occurred between 2300 hours and 0005 hours on Sunday.

Inspector Chakanza appealed to members of the public who may have witnessed the incident or have any information that could help identify the vehicle and driver.

“Motorists are reminded of their legal obligation to exercise due care on the roads and to stop and report any road traffic accident.

“Failure to do so is a serious offence,” said Insp Chakanza.

Recently, the Officer Commanding Harare Province, Commissioner Maxwell Chikunguru, said Mushikashika owners and drivers will now have to explain every dent on their vehicles as police continue hunting for suspected offenders involved in hit-and-run accidents.

In recent weeks, police have impounded more than 200 kombis and private vehicles for various traffic-related offences. Commissioner Chikunguru said operations aimed at restoring order in Harare’s Central Business District (CBD) will be intensified.
