OPUWO: Four people died when the sedan they were travelling in collided with a truck on the Opuwo-Ovinjange road on Wednesday. The Namibian Police Force's spokesperson for the Kunene Region, inspector Vehangaiza Ruiter, told Nampa the accident occurred around 15h38, when a Toyota Paso sedan driving from Opuwo toward Okangwati attempted to overtake a truck. The driver allegedly lost control over the vehicle and it collided with the oncoming truck before overturning.

The truck driver and three of his passengers also suffered minor injuries. Both drivers had valid driver's licences.
