There was an accident on the Southern Bypass near Ole Sereni Hotel at 6:30a.m on Tuesday morning, July 23rd, 2024.
A Lorry and a Trailer were headed in opposite directions (one coming from Kikuyu, the other going toward Kikuyu respectively) on opposite sides of the road when the Lorry driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle, barreling right into the trailer. It is, as of yet, not known what caused this sudden mishap but the consequence of it can only be described as severe.
Both drivers lost their lives on impact as the trailer then proceeded to catch fire and erupt into flames. The driver’s body was burnt beyond recognition.
Practitioners from a Multi-Agency Response Team arrived on the scene quickly and were able to pull 3 passengers from the wreckage and take them to the hospital for treatment as per statement by the Kenya Red Cross, i.e. “Three people have been taken to hospital, thanks to the efforts of a multi-agency response team,”- Kenya Red Cross.
