According to Chief Inspector Elifas Kuwinga, media liaison officer within the Namibian police, the fatal accident occurred on 2 February 2024 at about 02:30 AM on the B1 near the weighbridge under the bridge.
“According to the investigation, the driver/deceased, not yet identified, was driving from the southern direction towards the north when he either accidentally or intentionally left the road at high speed and collided with the centre pillar of the bridge, which separates the B1 right and left lanes. The ML SUV, with no registration number yet identified, was cut into two halves, causing it to catch fire simultaneously, and the vehicle scattered into pieces. The driver died instantly.
Police investigation continues,” Chief Inspector Kuwinga said.
