At least 14 people are feared dead after a minibus collided head-on with a haulage truck just outside the city of Bulawayo on the road to the border town of Beitbridge Wednesday night, state media has reported.

The Chronicle newspaper reported Thursday morning that the accident happened at a spot with a pothole which could have caused one of the vehicles to veer into the path of the other.

Many of the country's highways are littered with potholes because of poor maintenance.
