An accident involving a light delivery vehicle (LDV) and a bus occurred about 40kms outside Swakopmund between 16:30 and 17:00 on Monday. The bus, which belongs to Sunshine Bus Services, was transporting workers from Husab mine towards Swakopmund when it collided with the black bakkie, which was travelling in the same direction. Unconfirmed reports from bystanders at the scene suggest that the crash took place while the bakkie was overtaking the bus. Onlookers reported that at around the same time the bakkie was passing it, the bus attempted to overtake an Afrox lorry loaded with gas bottles, when it crashed into the bakkie. The impact of the collision forced the LDV from the road and two passengers sustained injuries in the process, the seriousness of which could not yet be determined. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, none of the workers in the bus sustained serious injuries. Emergency services responded to the call rapidly and the injured were immediately transported to hospital in Swakopmund by E-Med Rescue 24. * Photos credit Patrick Booysen
