A 16-year old sustained minor injury in a fall with his motorbike on the old Henties Bay road in Swakopmund late yesterday afternoon.
The biker took evasive action when a taxi apparently turned in front of him and struck the curbstone, which resulted in the fall. He received medical attention at the scene before he was transported to hospital by #coderedmedicalservices for further accessment.
