HARARE, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- The death toll in Zimbabwe's horrific bus crash that occurred Wednesday along the Harare-Mutare highway has risen to 50.

According to police, 40 people died on the spot, 5 on their way to hospital while 2 more passed on Thursday morning.

Three more succumbed to their injuries late Thursday, bringing the death toll to 50, the state broadcaster ZBC reported Friday.

The accident, which also injured 80 people, occurred when two long-distance buses collided along the highway.
