Four people died when three cars slammed into each other on the B1 highway about 33 kilometers south of Otjiwarongo after rain made the road slick. A sedan lost control and veered into oncoming traffic, hitting a pickup truck head-on, before a Corolla rear-ended the sedan hard. The victims were Jana Grove at 21, Christina Prinsloo at 57, Chirise Steyn at 80, and an unidentified 60-year-old woman from the sedan.
Thirteen people total were involved in the crash, and nine survivors got taken to Otjiwarongo State Hospital with injuries ranging from minor to serious before some transferred to Windhoek facilities. Police opened a culpable homicide case and are still investigating the wreck.
