Three dead in Dagoretti grisly road accident

Three people were killed in a tragic road accident after two motorcycles collided head-on along the Kikuyu-Dagoretti Road on Sunday morning.

According to an eyewitness, the two motorbikes were coming from different directions, one from Dagoretti and the other from Kikuyu, before they collided.

The cause of the accident is however not clear.

Area residents are now demanding bumps be erected on the stretch, which they claim has become a black spot, to avert similar incidents.

Boda boda accidents have been on the rise in the county with public hospitals setting aside wards for victims.

In August, boda boda riders in Nyeri County held prayers for their safety due to the rising cases of accidents in the sector.

“We will pray seven times as we march to the stadium. We urge President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene and unite us as boda boda operators because this sector has created employment to many youths in this country,” said Mweiga Boda Boda Association Chairman Samwel Ngatia.

In July, one person was killed and another critically injured after a lorry rammed into a boda boda they were travelling on at Kapkwen area along the Kaplong-Bomet road.

The injured man, who was the boda boda rider, was rushed to Tenwek Mission Hospital where he was admitted in the intensive care unit.
