Laura Maposa

A POLICE officer narrowly escaped death by a whisker after the vehicle he was driving was hit by a train as he chased a fleeing kombi.

The accident happened at a level crossing in Marondera on Saturday evening.

The officer was injured.

He did not observe level crossing rules which instruct all drivers to stop and only proceed after establishing there was no train which was approaching.

Indications are that the officer was chasing after a fleeing kombi.

In a statement, the NRZ highlighted the importance of adhering to level crossing regulations, which require all drivers to stop and confirm that no train is approaching before proceeding.

โ€œWe urge motorists, including law enforcement agents, to always exercise caution when approaching level crossings and never try to race an approaching train.

โ€œThis relentless pursuit culture has frequently resulted in accidents, endangering the lives of both officers and civilians.โ€
