15 people escaped death by a whisker after the bus they were travelling in crushed into a lorry on Nairobi-Nyeri Highway, near Blue Post Hotel in Thika on Wednesday evening. Eyewitnesses said that the accident was caused by a breakdown vehicle that was towing another lorry that had crashed on the same spot. He should have atleast placed twigs on the road to warn other road users,” Philip Kimemia a boda boda rider said. The driver of the breakdown vehicle however on realizing that he had caused an accident, he sped off towards Murang’a. However some eyewitnesses blamed the bus driver saying that it has become their habit to drive at a high speed.
