Ten people are currently receiving medical attention after the vehicles in which they were traveling were involved in a side-swipe collision on the Etomba-Omundaungilo road at Oheti village on Friday.
Namibian Police Force Ohangwena Community Policing Sub-Division Warrant, Andrew Nghiyolwa told Nampa on Monday that the two vehicles, a Toyota Hilux 2.7 Double Cab and a Toyota Hilux 2.7 Single Cab side-swiped and both caught fire and burned to ashes.
‘It is alleged that the double cab while overtaking other vehicles, collided with the single cab which was turning off the road, to the right near the gate of the house,’ he said.
The single cab was loaded with fuel which ignited the fire in the process.
Nghiyolwa indicated that although there is no fatality recorded, about 10 people were injured of which four were seriously burned and taken to Eenhana District State Hospital.
He noted that the particulars of those involved in the accident and the motor vehicles are still to be obtained as they could not be ob
