A tragic accident occurred on the morning of Tuesday August 27, 2024, along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway, resulting in multiple fatalities.
The collision involved a newly imported Range Rover and an Isuzu canter lorry at Maji ya Chumvi.
Eyewitnesses reported a horrific scene as the two vehicles collided head-on. The impact was so severe that it left both vehicles mangled and unrecognizable. The canter rolled and overturned suspending the wheels up in the air.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, working tirelessly to rescue any survivors and manage the aftermath of the crash. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, several lives were lost although actual numbers are yet unknown.
The Range Rover, a luxury vehicle, was reportedly traveling at high speed when it struck the lorry. Preliminary investigations suggest that reckless driving may have contributed to the accident.
However, authorities have not yet released a full report, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations.
Many kenyans have taken to social media to express their shock and sympathy. One user allegedly commented to have seing the Range rover in Nairobi being carelessly driven by some young lads.
