Two Die After Crashing Into Tree

A man and a woman, who appeared to be in their thirties, have died tragically after their vehicle left the road and slammed into a tree. It seems that the pair were driving along the N1 highway near the Okavango turn off, when their car veered out of control.

It is unclear as to why the driver of the Toyota lost control of his vehicle, but it is suspected that they experienced mechanical problems or that a tyre had burst. After the vehicle left the road, it seems that it drove into the large tree with severe force. ER24 paramedics who were on the scene, said that the front wheels were pushed almost into the top of the dashboard. The front of the vehicle was badly damaged, and both patients sustained severe injuries. Both of them died in their seats in the car after the dashboard appears to have crushed their chests. Fire and Rescue workers had to cut the mangled wreck away from the tree before the two's mortal remains could be removed.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
