Super Metro Outlines Reason for Accident

As per the statement, the accident was caused by a white saloon car, which was reportedly overloaded with
“jerrycans of Muratina”.

According to witnesses, the saloon car was swerving carelessly across the road before the accident. 

The saloon car collided with the side of the Super Metro bus, forcing the bus driver to take evasive action.

However, while attempting to avoid further collision, the bus veered off the road and landed in a ditch.

Investigations are Ongoing

The matatu Sacco said that the incident was promptly reported to the authorities at Thika Police Station who are handling the matter.

“We urge anyone seeking official details about the incident to direct inquiries to Thika Police Station for accurate and updated information,” read the statement.

Super Metro assured the public that it is committed to upholding the highest standards of road safety and adherence to traffic regulations.

Resumption of Operations

The accident occurred just a few days after the matatu Sacco was granted an interim to resume operations in its Nairobi routes on March 24, 2025.

The Transport Licensing Appeals Board (TLAB) temporarily revoked the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA)’s suspension of the fleet.

Consequently, the ruling effectively lifted NTSA’s suspension, enabling Super Metro to continue operating across Nairobi and its routes as a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operator.
