A passenger died on the spot while three others are recuperating in hospital after a vehicle they were travelling in rammed into a culvert before summersaulting severally.
According to SDE, the accident occurred in Ikolomani, Kenya. A woman who was at the co-driver’s seat died instantly while the driver was left unconscious.
Moses Makhanu, a survivor claimed that the driver was caressing the woman in the passenger seat next to him. Makhanu claimed that the driver almost lost control of the matatu at Sigalagala National Polytechnic when he tried to forcibly kiss the woman, but managed to steady the car.
He said they cautioned him against reckless driving, but the driver insulted them and even threatened to throw them out of the vehicle. “The driver appeared drunk.
You could hear him telling the lady how he loves her and wanted to marry her. When the vehicle got to the accident scene, he attempted to kiss the woman by force,” he claimed.
