On Monday, a devastating road accident occurred at Makobeni bridge on the Mazeras-Kaloleni road in Kilifi, claiming the lives of six people and leaving several others injured.
The accident involved five vehicles, including a saloon car, a trailer, two buses, and a lorry, which collided at the bridge, causing a massive traffic jam that lasted for over three hours.
Hilal Sudi, a matatu driver who witnessed the crash, attributed the frequent accidents in the area to the lack of speed bumps and uncleared road bushes.
Local MP William Kamoti, who addressed the press at the scene, urged the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) to take immediate action and install speed bumps in the area to prevent future accidents.
