Cops probe 'unlicensed' mayor
A case of reckless and negligent driving, as well as driving without a driver's licence, has been opened following a crash involving Tsumeb mayor Mathews Hangula and an ambulance.
The mayor escaped uninjured last Thursday when his Toyota Corolla collided head-on with a government ambulance.
The occupants of the ambulance, a 53-year-old driver and three passengers aged 24, 71 and 74, sustained injuries, but were reported to be in a stable condition after being transported to the Tsumeb state hospital.
According to the weekend crime report, the accident happened at around 08:00 at the corner of Maria Nehoya and Dr Hage Geingob streets, when Hangula collided with the ambulance that was on its way to Oshakati from Windhoek.
Hangula was alone in his vehicle and could not produce a valid driver's licence.
No arrest has been made but the Oshikoto police confirmed they are investigating a case of reckless and negligent driving, as well as driving without a driver's licence.
