A family was
involved in a car accident on Saturday after their vehicle rolled several
times. The accident happened in the morning hours a few metres from Gatero
Girls High School, 35km from Nyahururu town. Eye witnesses reported that the
vehicle which was at a high speed was trying to avoid bumps on the road when
the driver lost control and the vehicle rolled.

The family
in their private car was hurrying to Nyahururu District Hospital Mortuary to
view the body of their deceased when the accident occurred.
Nobody sustained
serious injuries in the incident.
The road
between Kinamba and Nyahururu is laced with bumps. It is reported that the area
is prone to accidents and this inspired the erection of bumps. Public service
vehicles occasionally try to avoid the bumps which are too high and
concentrated.
Vehicles
plying the route are known to over speed. They also carry excess passengers.
This is done at the full watch of the traffic police. It is also an open secret
that the police receive bribes in the area. They do it at the full watch of the
passengers. Residents are appealing to the Inspector General David Kimaiyo to
act with speed to ensure that reforms in the police force trickle down to the
grass root level.
