A 55-year-old Angolan national died instantly on Wednesday after he was reportedly run over by a sedan on the Omuthiya/Ondangwa B1 road at Onalunike village in the Omuthiya Constituency.
The Namibian Police Force’s Crime Investigations Coordinator for the Oshikoto Region, Deputy Commissioner Titus Ekandjo on Thursday, said the accident occurred around 20h00 when the driver of a white Volkswagen sedan with government number plates driving from Omuthiya allegedly hit the man as he was crossing the road.
He died on the spot.

‘The driver, who was alone at the time of the accident, was on his way to Onamulunga village in the Oshikoto Region, and is employed as an immigration officer,’ Ekandjo said.
The body of the deceased was taken to the Omuthiya State Hospital for an autopsy and his next of kin have not yet been informed.
