Accidents on our roads in Kenya has consumed many lives. It is a killer almost at the top of the list. The NTSA group which was employed to curb accidents failed miserably. They inherited the traffic police disease of taking bribes.
This petroleum tank veered off the road and found itself in the forest and off the road. As it rolled, the driver and his co-driver were thrown out and rolled over by the tank. Luckily enough, the tank carrying a load of petrol never caught fire.
It has been the habit of the community to come and draw petrol to sell to get some money. Often a person comes over with a cigarette and blows many ablaze. This one was never got the same treatment as police came immediately and are guarding the vehicle as they wait to pull it from the bush and valley.
This photo I took at a distance. The white thing in the trees is the tank involved in the accident. Notice the blue sky and my finger as I took the photo.
Here the road the tank veered from is shown. Notice the panorama and the white tank in the bush.
The same image with the tank.

Truly unfortunate for loosing two lives. Its tym we be more watchful on our Kenyan roads.
That is the truth
road accidents are so terrible claiming so many lives
Our Kenyan roads are worse
that's a tragic accident my friend I hope police is in that accident.
I'm tired of seeing so many lives being lost in our country. And I think part of the reason is corruption.
We have traffic officers on the road but they are known to take bribes. Had the vehicle and the drivers been inspected, maybe the accident wouldn't have happened.
Another thing is truck drivers are paid by the hour. So most of them do not take the required rest for recovery. They end up chewing Mogoka and drinking alcohol to make the journey more bearable.
May their souls RIP.
What could be the solution for this? We have lost alot of lives due to road accidents. Its very sad.
This was so sad. Life is precious and every minute we are okay is a minute to give thanks.
