WALVIS BAY – Two drivers survived a bizarre accident yesterday morning when two trucks – one a lighter Kia pick-up – vehicle collided on the bridge between Usakos and Karibib.

According to Nampol, the driver of the white Kia truck, Gideon Iileka, who was travelling from Karibib to Usako, experienced difficulties with the truck, resulting in it swerving on the road.
Iileka’s truck then rammed into an Iveco truck that was travelling from Usakos to Karibib.
This resulted in the Iveco driver, Petta Beukes, losing control of his truck, causing it to veer off the road.
Both drivers escaped the accident with minor injuries.
