An accident occurred at Tombo Park along the Benguma Highway in Waterloo on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, with emergency services responding promptly to the scene. Initial reports indicate that no injuries were recorded in the collision.
Accounts from the scene suggested that the driver believed to be responsible for the accident may have been under the influence of alcohol, although this had not been independently confirmed at the time of reporting.
The incident has renewed concerns about the dangers of drink-driving, particularly on busy roads where impaired driving can put motorists, passengers, pedestrians and other road users at risk.
Authorities have repeatedly urged motorists not to consume alcohol before getting behind the wheel and to exercise caution while using the country’s roads.
The latest accident adds to previous safety concerns associated with the Tombo Park area.
In 2022, the location was the scene of a major police operation to clear makeshift structures as authorities moved to address activities along the highway.
The latest collision has once again drawn attention to the need for motorists to exercise caution and comply with road-safety measures when travelling along the Benguma Highway.
