Today, a terrible accident happened at the well-known Nithi Bridge. A lorry carrying goods lost control and crashed, adding to the long list of accidents that have occurred at this dangerous spot.
The accident happened in the morning when the lorry was traveling from Meru to Nairobi. Witnesses say the vehicle was moving fast as it approached the bridge. Suddenly, the driver seemed to lose control, and the lorry swerved off the road. It hit the bridge railing and plunged into the deep river below.
People nearby rushed to the scene to help. Rescue teams, including police officers and medical workers, arrived quickly. They worked hard to pull the driver and any passengers from the wreckage. Sadly, the driver did not survive. It is not yet clear if there were any passengers in the lorry.
Investigators believe the accident may have been caused by brake failure or high speed. Nithi Bridge is known for being a dangerous spot where many vehicles have crashed before. Experts have warned drivers to be extra careful when using this bridge, but accidents continue to happen.
Many people are now demanding stronger safety measures at Nithi Bridge. Some suggest adding speed bumps, warning signs, and stronger barriers to prevent vehicles from falling into the river. Others believe that a new, safer road should be built to replace the current dangerous section.
The tragic accident has left many people in shock and mourning. Families of the victims are heartbroken, and road users are once again reminded of the risks of this bridge. The government and road safety officials need to act quickly to stop more accidents from happening in the future.
As investigations continue, drivers are being urged to slow down and be more cautious when approaching Nithi Bridge. Hopefully, this latest accident will lead to better safety measures and prevent further loss of lives.
