One person died in a fatal accident this morning on the B2 road outside Arandis involving a single cab bakkie and a truck. 

The accident was caused by sandstorms.

Strong east winds have battered towns on the central coast since Sunday, bringing with it large clouds of dust and sand that form dangerous dunes on the road.

Erongo Regional Community Affairs Commander, Inspector Ileni Shapumba, cautions road users to drive safely as the mini dunes are blocking parts of the road between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.
