Ohangwena: Police in the Ohangwena Region are investigating the death of a man who fell from a moving vehicle and was subsequently run over by another car. The incident occurred on Friday on the Oshiweda-Eembaxu gravel road, located between the Oshuulu and Onakalunga villages, according to the weekend crime report.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Namibian Police Force spokesperson, Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, stated that the 34-year-old man, a passenger in a white Nissan Hardbody, fell out after the rear door unexpectedly opened while the vehicle was traveling in a northern direction. “He was run over by a dark grey Toyota traveling in the same direction, dying instantly at the scene,” Shikwambi said.

The body was taken to the Eenhana State Hospital mortuary for an autopsy. Both drivers were licensed and tested negative for alcohol. Police investigations are ongoing.
