A MAN who crashed into a bridge near Brakwater and died at around 2 AM on Friday morning has been identified as Fidel Castro Hango, and it is suspected that he might have intentionally driven the car into the bridge at high speed.
Giving an update on the matter, Chief Inspector Elifas Kuwinga said that, according to the information received from the family, Hango was suicidal and drove from the family’s house.
The impact of the crash allegedly caused the car to be cut in half and catch fire, resulting in the driver’s instant death.
The fatal accident occurred on 2 February 2024 at about 02:30 AM on the B1 near the weighbridge under the bridge.
According to the investigation, the suicidal Hango was driving from the southern direction towards the north when he left the road at high speed and collided with the centre pillar of the bridge, which separates the B1 right and left lanes. The ML SUV was cut into two halves, causing it to catch fire simultaneously, and the vehicle scattered into pieces. The driver died instantly.
