A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD died on the D3016 Gravel Road on Saturday after he allegedly jumped out of a moving vehicle.
This was confirmed by Otjozondjupa Head of Community Policing Sub-division, Chief Inspector Maureen Mbeha, who said the incident occurred on farm Deo Volente in the Grootfontein district.
Mbeha identified the deceased as Kabiseb Kasee, a Grade 1 learner at Mururani Primary School.
According to Mbeha, it is alleged that a 68-year-old man was driving a Ford Ranger to drop off the schoolchildren at Mururani from farm Deo Volente.
“Upon his return, three kids sneaked into the vehicle returning to the farm without him knowing, and one child allegedly jumped off a moving vehicle just before the vehicle could turn into the farm,” she said.
Mbeha said the victim sustained head injuries and was rushed to Grootfontein State Hospital, where he was declared dead upon arrival.
