Dear Editor.

A speeding kombi this morning ran over a child near NOCZIM, killing the toddler (age not given) on the spot.

The kombi was heading for the capital Bulawayo just after the Vapositori shrine near NOCZIM.

Traffic was brought to a halt when the entire road was blocked. Traffic police are still at the scene right now.
