A BUS driver who attempted to cross a flooded river before it overturned with 74 passengers on board has been charged with negligent driving.
James Moyo, 69, pleaded not guilty when he appeared before a Plumtree magistrate yesterday charged over the January 12 incident.
Moyo, an employee of AJAY Motorways, drove into a flooded Matshongwana River in Mangwe district but failed to navigate his way and the bus overturned.
His passengers, who were travelling from Bulawayo to Brunapeg, escaped with minor injuries.
The trial continues.
