A trailer collision blocked the major Nairobi-Mombasa highway for nearly ten hours on Sunday evening. Driver Collins Matumo lost control of his vehicle around 9:30 pm near Lukenya in Athi River, Machakos County. The overturned trailer completely sealed the roadway, stranding hundreds of motorists throughout the night. Police cleared the obstruction by 6:00 am Monday morning, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. Matumo suffered minor facial injuries and received medical treatment recommendations.
This accident occurred meters from another deadly crash last Wednesday. A Toyota Probox driver lost control near the Luqman petrol station, killing two passengers and critically injuring three others. Sunday evening brought additional tragedy when a fourteen-seat matatu crashed at Sweet Waters along the Mutituni-Machakos road. Four passengers sustained injuries but survived the collision. These repeated incidents highlight growing concerns about road safety throughout Machakos County, where authorities continue to investigate multiple serious accidents.
