Hungwe was denied bail when he returned to court this Monday by Harare magistrate, Rumbidzai Mugwagwa.
He was not asked to plead and remanded in custody 4 pending trial.
According to the State, the incident occurred on August 24, at corner Borrowdale Road and Kingsmead.
Hungwe was driving commuter omnibus and tried to avoid a vehicle that had blocked the road to make way for Chiwenga’s motorcade.
In trying to do so Hungwe’s vehicle accidentally hit one of the cars which was part of the convoy on the rear right side.
Upon his arrest it was established that he was also driving without a valid licence.
