A 47-year-old pedestrian was run over by an ambulance last night in Ndiyona District, Kavango East Region.

The incident occurred about 80 kilometers east of Rundu.

NamPol's acting Regional Commander for Kavango East, Deputy Commissioner Bonifatius Kanyetu, says the deceased was crossing the road with two of his relatives when the ambulance from Andara Hospital came speeding in their direction.
