A crash with a warthog late Saturday afternoon claimed the lives of three people between Otjiwarongo and Otavi.

According to the crime investigation coordinator of the Otjozondjupa Region, Detective Chief Inspector Moses Khairabeb, the car that four people were travelling in hit a warthog and overturned.

The driver, Gabes Armando (30), and two of the three passengers died. They were 32-year-old Monia Elikana and Sonja Kaimbi (24). Armando and Kaimbi were both MTC employees. Khairabeb said the other passenger sustained minor injuries. According to MTC spokesperson Abelene Heuer, MTC held a memorial service for its employees in Windhoek last night.

Must have been one big-assed warthog!

My wife totalled one of our cars hitting a wild boar just outside of Rambouillet one night. Don't understimate the damage hitting a pig.

Hit one once on the hwy between Bulawayo and Harare. Messed up the car but it was drivable after some roadside body work. The pig was pretty badly hurt but walked away. They're tough piles of gristle and bone,

I only ever hit 1 hog but I was pretty drunk and she had her hand on my money clip!

Killed two domestic pigs on way from Lower Luangwa to Lusaka but didn't stop...locals cud have gotten restless....biggest "thump" was a damn donkey in Zim but again we kept motoring....got some chickens too but figure they don't count...
