EIGHTEEN people headed home for the holidays died when an open truck veered off a mountain road and plunged into a ravine in northeastern Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe state radio said on Tuesday another 46 passengers crowded on the back of the truck were injured in the crash in the remote Honde Valley region known for its steep and winding roads and tracks.
Bus and truck accidents, common in Zimbabwe, are mainly blamed on poor vehicle maintenance and speeding.
Zimbabweans traditionally travel to their rural villages for the holidays. Travellers this year complained that bus companies increased fares, in one case from $US4 ($A3.90) to $US10 ($A9.70) for a 150 kilometre trip.
