Ludwig said fatal accidents caused by collisions with either domestic or wild animals are becoming a serious problem. According to him, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Works and Transport to erect shelters along the road where stray animals can be kept for identification or subsequent auction.
He said although legislation is in place to fine guilty farmers, it is a challenge for police officers to trace the owners. Ludwig highlighted the Rehoboth-Windhoek road as a serious concern. He said that fining farmers would make a difference. A young man in his early twenties lost his life in Rehoboth at the weekend, after his car hit a horse on the B1 highway. In August last year 16 people were seriously injured after a minibus they were travelling in drove over a dead cow on the B1 highway between Otjiwarongo and Otavi.
Early last month a year old man died after his car hit a cow that was crossing the Ondangwa-Oshivelo main road. In , 14 heads of cattle died after they were hit by a truck on the C38 Outjo-Otavi Gravel road. Namibian Sun Please login to leave a comment. Register to unlock articles Register.
