Survivors of the fatal road accident along the Karai–Naivasha stretch have claimed that the driver of the vehicle involved was recklessly driving and ignoring repeated pleas from passengers to slow down, as authorities continue investigations into the crash that claimed at least nine lives. “It was reckless driving, and there was no way we could complain, and he wasn’t listening,” the survivor claimed. Another survivor echoed similar concerns, claiming the driver failed to heed passengers’ warnings as the vehicle sped along the busy highway. “The driver was speeding and we tried telling him to slow down but he wasn’t listening to any of us,” the survivor claimed. The accident occurred on a section of the Karai–Naivasha road that police describe as a high-risk area, particularly during periods of heavy traffic.
