Summary:
A devastating collision on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway near Naivasha resulted in five fatalities and numerous injuries as a matatu operated by SWAT company collided with a lorry. The incident occurred early Monday morning at the Flyover section toward Naivasha, triggered by a miscalculation as the PSV vehicle hit the lorry from behind.
SWATT sacco management attributed the accident to unforeseen circumstances, citing a lorry carrying cabbages that experienced brake failure and unexpectedly reversed, leading to the catastrophic collision. While the sacco reported five immediate casualties, pending police investigation, the wreckage depicted extensive damage, particularly around the driver’s seats.
The impact scattered items from the matatu, tearing its door, damaging the bonnet, and destroying sections of the roof. This tragic event underscores the pressing need for enhanced road safety measures. Your time in reading and staying informed about this distressing incident is appreciated.
