A man narrowly escaped death on Wednesday after his vehicle caught fire as he was driving along the Thika Superhighway. Yunus Abdul, who was driving a Mercedes, said he suspected the fire was caused by the petrol he had purchased at a station in Kasarani. However, on his way back to Kasarani, the vehicle kept acting up before eventually catching fire. "Another driver said that my exhaust pipe was emitting flames and I stepped out to take a look," he said. "I took out my fire extinguisher to try and put it out but it burst into flames."
