A 37-year-old woman died in the early hours of Sunday in Rehoboth after the vehicle she was travelling in was struck by another vehicle. Crime investigations coordinator for Hardap, Deputy Commissioner Eric Clay told NAMPA on Monday that the incident happened around midnight on the B1 road passing through Rehoboth near Dr Lemmer High School. “It is alleged that a Mercedes Benz with Windhoek registration and a Nissan Merga with Rehoboth registration were travelling in the northern direction, while a Toyota Corolla with Rehoboth registration was traveling in the opposite direction. It is further alleged that the Mercedes, which was traveling at high speed, wanted to overtake the Nissan, but saw the oncoming Corolla and the driver then moved back and in the process bumped the rear of the Nissan,” Clay said. He said due to the impact the Nissan swerved and bumped against the oncoming Corolla and the passenger died on the scene, while the driver was seriously injured. The drivers of the Mercedes and Corolla were not injured but their alcohol levels were tested. Clay said the injured driver of the Nissan Merga was rushed to St Mary’s hospital where he is admitted in a serious but stable condition. The deceased was identified as Caroline Britz and her next of kin were informed of her passing. The two drivers aged 48 and 30 were arrested and charged with culpable homicide, drunken driving, reckless and/or negligent driving, as well as a violation of curfew hours. Police investigations continue. -NAMPA
