"It is unfortunate that life was lost in the fatal accident that occurred at around 23:10 am. It is sad. I want to urge all road users to take personal responsibility for protecting themselves and protecting others. If a vehicle stalls on the road it is prudent and mandatory for you to put road signs that alert other motorists of danger ahead. It is uncouth and inhumane to just leave a vehicle along the road and endanger other road users, especially at night where visibility is not clear," Mwongera said.
According to police records, the stalled trailer had no occupants or any warning road signs when the accident occurred.
The vehicle hit the trailer's left side extensively damaging it. The driver was rushed to Kajiado referral hospital for treatment.
The two vehicles were towed to the Isinya police station and the body was taken to the Kajiado referral hospital mortuary.
