Sombre mood after another horrible accident occurred a few hours ago at the Gwa Zakayo highway in Embu-Meru County. The accident occurred after a Toyota Probox that was being driven at high speed lost control and hit the PSV Matatu, which was loaded with students, teachers, and parents who were traveling to their places of work.
According to the eyewitnesses who were around, they said the driver of the Probox was the cause since it was at such high speed that he could not control the car easily once the brakes were lost. It happened that the neighbors were also around, which aided the victims and rushed them to the hospitals. One person has died, while the rest, of whom the number is still unknown, sustained serious injuries, and they are undergoing treatment.
The area county police commander has arrested the car that caused the accident, and the driver of the probox is being eyed by police officers. After treatment, he will move to court to explain. The passenger who has died was moved to the mortuary, where the family will take it for burial. County traffic officers claimed they were at work, aiding the traffic jam in the scene area. The accident occurred after another happened yesterday that left more than 10 people dead on the spot, while the passengers who were injured were more than 50.
The National Transport and Safety Authority appeals to drivers and motorists to follow road safety rules to avoid more accidents. So far, the body has confirmed more than 60 people who have lost their lives through road accidents.
