Lazarus Sauti Elphas Dzvarire (24) of Rixon Ranch in Mhangura was hit by a car at Chiuye, Rushinga Road in Mt Darwin on the 23 rd of February 2018. He was training to join the army when the accident happened. “I was hit by a Toyota Altezza in February whilst I was training to join the army. The driver of the car failed to control his car and he hit me,” Dzvarire said, adding that the driver stopped and assisted him. “He only paid $26 for my transport from the scene of the accident to Karanda Mission Hospital,” he said. “I used $485 to cover for other medical bills. Because I am unemployed, I was forced to sell 2 cows to foot for my medicals.” Dzvarire said he tried to call the driver asking for help, but to no avail. “Sometimes he ignores my calls,” he said, adding, “It’s so frustrating.” Sadly, Dzvarire was not aware of road traffic accidents and third party insurance and this forced him to beg for money to foot his medical bills.
