Ondangwa, 24 July 2023: A heart-wrenching car accident on Ondangwa main road at Ondjondjo area, Oshana region, took the life of a young Namibian man, 24-year-old Sakeus Pandu Shuuya. The incident occurred around 01h30 on Sunday, leaving the community in shock and mourning.
According to Inspector Thomas Aiyambo, the circumstances surrounding the accident point to culpable homicide. Preliminary investigations suggest that an unknown person had deliberately placed interlock bricks across the road, intending to disrupt the passage of motor vehicles. Tragically, these obstructions proved fatal for the young driver.
Sakeus Pandu Shuuya was behind the wheel of a white Toyota Tazz, traveling from west to east when the accident occurred. Upon spotting the interlock bricks on the road ahead, he instinctively veered to the right in a desperate attempt to avoid a head-on collision. However, in doing so, he lost control of the vehicle, leading to the fatal outcome.
The authorities promptly responded to the scene, and the victim’s body was transported to the Oshakati police mortuary for postmortem examination. As the family mourns the untimely loss of their loved one, the police have informed the next of kin, and a thorough investigation into the incident has been initiated.
