Unidentified Pedestrian Killed in Late-Night Truck Accident on B2 Road
By TUW
Police are investigating a fatal road accident that claimed the life of an unidentified man on the B2 highway late on Monday night.
The incident took place about 36 kilometres outside Karibib in the direction of Okahandja, at approximately 23:35. A pedestrian was struck by a truck and died on the spot due to severe injuries.
Preliminary information from the Erongo Regional Police indicates that the truck was travelling from Walvis Bay towards Windhoek. The vehicle was reportedly driven by a 54-year-old Namibian man. During the journey, the driver allegedly became aware of a pedestrian on the road but could not prevent the collision because of the short distance between them.
Emergency responders confirmed that the pedestrian had succumbed to injuries at the scene. The identity of the deceased has not yet been established, and family members are still to be notified.
Police investigations into the exact circumstances of the crash are continuing. Authorities are calling on the public to assist with identifying the deceased or to report any relevant information that may help the investigation.
Anyone with information is requested to contact Detective Inspector Shashipapo Muduva at 081 213 7799 or report to the nearest police station.
