Podľa správ médií autobus vo štvrtok neskoro večer zišiel z cesty a spadol do rokliny neďaleko mesta Chipinge. Podľa policajnej správy sa v autobuse viezlo 106 členov kresťanskej cirkvi Sion, ktorí cestovali do svätyne v Bikite na veľkonočné zhromaždenie.
Telá mŕtvych boli prevezené na vyšetrenie do nemocnice v Chipinge, kam boli prevezení aj zranení.
