On August 2, 2020, a close call was narrowly avoided when two speeding vehicles veered off the road and crashed along Mombasa road in Nairobi.
A helmet cam captured the dramatic footage, which was shared on social media by a biker who managed to escape the reckless drivers.
The video shows the two vehicles speeding past the biker and a lorry before crashing into thickets by the roadside.
One of the occupants of the vehicles can be seen stepping out of the car with a bottle of alcohol, raising concerns about the drivers' state of mind.
Another motorist who encountered the drivers before the accident commented on the post, saying: 'These guys passed me at Mua hills. I'm so lucky I had parked my car on the roadside. They were racing down the hill in sharp corners without a care in the world that they would find an oncoming car ahead. This could have been worse. They should thank God.'
The incident highlights the dangers of speeding and reckless driving, which can have devastating consequences.
