A total of 127 people died in road crashes that took place during the just-ended festive season - a 5% drop from the previous year.
This was announced by the Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Fund last week at Ongwediva.
According to MVA Fund Ongwediva branch manager Eva Amakali the data was collected between 22 November 2017 and 16 January this year.
Amakali said a total of 528 crashes were recorded in which 965 people sustained injuries and 127 died.
“The battle against road carnage is not an easy one and I am happy that we have institutions in our society who realise the need to support our law-enforcement team in keeping our roads safe,” said Amakali.
She was speaking at the handover ceremony of 40 reflective vests and 100 traffic cones to the Oshana police by the Ongwediva Medipark private hospital.
Oshana police regional commander Rauha Amwele received the donation.
Amwele said contributions such as those of Ongwediva Medipark will assist the police in achieving its goals.
