A serious accident has just occurred tonight about 50 kilometres from Otjiwarongo on the road to Okahandja, leaving one person dead and another still missing.
According to information from the scene, a double-cab bakkie overturned after the driver swerved to avoid a large 200-litre drum that was lying in the middle of the road, believed to have fallen from another vehicle.
The sudden manoeuvre caused the bakkie to lose control and roll several times.
All four passengers were thrown from the vehicle. One person sadly died on the spot, while an adult woman has not yet been found. Emergency services, including the MVA Fund and ambulance personnel, are currently on the scene attending to the injured and searching for the missing passenger.
