Bloody weekend for coastal roads
A 25-year-old man died in a vehicle accident just outside Walvis Bay on Saturday afternoon.
According to Detective Inspector Daniel Gurirab, the deceased and four other passengers were travelling from Swakopmund to Walvis Bay via the MR44 road behind Dune 7.
“The driver lost control and overturned the vehicle and died instantly. The four passengers were slightly injured. The next of kin of the deceased have not yet been informed of his death,” Gurirab said.
In another incident, during the early hours of Sunday morning, a Nissan hatchback crashed into a BMW at the intersection of Rikumbi Kandanga and 6th streets in Walvis Bay. Both drivers sustained serious injuries, but are in a stable condition at a local hospital. A case of driving without a driver's licence has been opened against the 22-year-old driver of the Nissan hatchback, who had allegedly his mother's car without her permission.
Another crash was reported in Fairways, also in Walvis Bay, during the early hours of Sunday, when a bakkie crashed into a wall. No serious injuries were reported.
