Highlanders vice chairman Modern Ngwenya was involved in a car accident on Monday when he was travelling from Harare to Bulawayo but says he escaped unhurt.

The road accident occurred in Chegutu when Ngwenya rammed behind a vehicle that was in front of his after the driver of the later applied emergence breaks to stop in the middle of the road to pick up passengers.

“I’m safe. I was not hurt. However, the culprit ran away from the scene,” said Ngwenya.

Meanwhile, CAPS United captain Hardlife Zvirekwi was also involved in a car accident in the early hours of the same day.

The skipper survived the crash but with serious injuries, and had his left lower arm amputated.
