Police in Keetmanshoop have reported a tragic incident involving a local resident who committed suicide by driving his NP 300 Nissan Bakkie head-on into an oncoming truck, resulting in his death.

||Kharas Police Crime Investigations Coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Nicodemus Mbango, stated that the collision occurred this morning on the B1 highway, approximately 20 kilometers north of Keetmanshoop.
