NTSA found 19 traffic rule breakers on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway on Thursday night. They caught people driving after drinking alcohol. The authority reminds everyone about safety - if you drink, leave your car behind. They plan more night checks across Kenya until drunk driving crashes stop completely. Their goal remains zero accidents from people who mix alcohol with driving.
Recent reports show 1,139 people died in road crashes between January and March 2025. This number went down a bit from last year, when 1,166 deaths happened. Walking people suffered most, with 420 deaths, followed by motorcycle riders at 301. Passengers came third with 189 deaths, ahead of motorcycle passengers who lost 130 lives. Drivers made up 83 deaths, with bike riders accounting for 16 fatalities.
Road accidents hurt 5,856 people early this year, which decreased compared to 2024. Among these victims, 3,316 had serious injuries, but 2,693 escaped with minor harm. Motorcycle rider deaths have increased a lot lately, showing that more safety education might help. Police brought back breathalyzer tests to catch drunk drivers. NTSA warned all drivers about safety rules during the Easter travel season.
