At least 70 people were injured when two crowded commuter trains crashed head on in Harare today
Two commuter trains collided in the morning rush hour at the Zimbabwean capital Harare's main station today, injuring 70 people including 10 seriously, officials and witnesses said.
Deputy Transport Minister Andrew Langa said it appeared human error was to blame for the accident.
"Two commuter trains using the same track as they approached the railway station collided into each other," Mr Langa said at the scene.
"The one which was behind did not slow down for the one in front. At this stage we are attributing this to human error," Mr Langa said.
