A speeding and impatient motorist who drove against traffic while trying to beat congestion, yesterday fatally hit a pedestrian at the Flyover along Seke Road in Harare.

The man who was crossing the road died on the spot.

When The Herald arrived at the scene there was traffic jam as people tried to come to terms with the horrific accident.

Witnesses said the driver was speeding.

“The driver of a Toyota Mark X was travelling towards the city centre and against the flow of traffic. He was speeding, trying to beat traffic congestion when the pedestrian was crossing the road.
