In Nairobi on November 3, 2023, a potentially life-threatening incident unfolded along the Outering road near Kware stage. A driver narrowly escaped a fatal collision when his car struck the rear of an Embassava Sacco bus.

Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that the driver, behind the wheel of a white Toyota Vitz, swerved to avoid a head-on collision with a lorry. In the process, the Vitz collided with the parked bus on the roadside.




The impact had severe consequences for the small car, resulting in extensive damage to the bonnet, windscreen, and headlights. Fortunately, the driver of the Vitz sustained only minor injuries.




 




The damaged Vitz was subsequently towed to the side of the road for inspection by the police. In contrast, the bus suffered minor damage primarily to its rear, and it remained operational, with no injuries reported among its passengers.

This incident on the Outering road occurred just two weeks after a serious accident on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway, where a bus collided with a truck. The Kibwezi Sub-County Police Commander, Maina, confirmed that the crash took place between the towns of Machinery and Kambu in Makueni along the busy highway on October 18.

Tragically, this earlier collision resulted in the loss of five lives, with several other individuals sustaining injuries and being rushed to the hospital for medical treatment. Photographs from the scene depicted the bus extensively damaged, while the trailer had overturned.




The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) provided the latest statistics concerning road accidents. Records revealed that between January and June of the current year, 2,124 lives were lost in road accidents. The surge in fatalities was attributed to incompetent and unfit drivers, with pedestrians accounting for 571 casualties and motorcycle operators for 449.
