The police at Rundu arrested a 47-year-old man on Saturday after the Mercedes Benz truck he was driving, collided head-on with a Toyota pickup, killing its driver.

Namibian Police Force (NamPol) crime investigations coordinator in the Kavango East Region Deputy Commissioner Bonifatius Kanyetu told Nampa on Monday that the incident happened on the Trans Caprivi High Way at around 20h15.

‘It is alleged that the driver of the Mercedes Benz truck was driving from the East to Western direction when he collided head-on with the deceased’s car and he failed to ascertain the nature and extent of injuries sustained after the accident,’ Kanyetu said.

He was thus arrested for reckless and negligent driving, driving a vehicle on a public road without a license and failing to render assistance to an injured person.

The injured passengers in both vehicles received treatment at the Rundu State Hospital.
