One accident, seven people dead.

Barely a day after a truck driver from Swaziland died on Namibian roads in a truck crash, seven more people died in one single accident involving a tour bus and a truck carrying diary products to the north. The accident took place around 19h30 on the B1 road 25 kilometers north of Okahandja. It is unclear what caused the accident, but when I arrived at the scene it was a sad scene awaiting us with bodies under blankets, diary products strewn all over the place, while the two wrecks clearly indicated that the fatalities would be high. Indeed a credit to the Okahandja Police and emergency services as they arrived within minutes after the MVA dispatched them to the scene. a Video clip of the horrific scene would be posted on the 29th of this month.
