However, this is not the first accident to happen at the Nairobi Expressway. Another accident happened on June 26 at the same scene. A private vehicle had rammed into several other vehicles leading to extensive damage.
Moreover, one person died in that same accident while several others were seriously injured.
In addition, the two accidents have been attributed to over-speeding where drivers do not observe the 80km/h speed limit.
Furthermore, while speaking after the first accident, government Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna revealed that plans were underway to roll out additional measures to curtail over-speeding at the Expressway.
