Tuesday, August 19, 2025 - A reckless motorist driving a vehicle registered as KCG 771D has come under heavy criticism after he was captured on dashcam footage driving on the wrong side of Thika Superhighway and fleeing after causing an accident.
The incident, which occurred near Safari Park Hotel, shows
the driver heading towards Nairobi’s city centre against oncoming traffic. The
motorist’s actions forced other road users into evasive manoeuvres, narrowly
avoiding a head-on collision.
In the footage, a motorcyclist is seen swerving to avoid the
rogue driver but ends up ramming into the rear of a Toyota Probox.
The rider fell onto the tarmac, while the shaken Probox
driver inspected his damaged vehicle.
Neither the motorist at fault nor the Probox driver stopped
to assist the injured rider.
Kenyans have strongly condemned the incident, describing the
motorist’s behaviour as reckless and unacceptable.
“Owner of KCG 771D, shame on you. You cannot drive on the
wrong side of a busy highway, cause an accident, and flee as if nothing
happened. You can run, but you cannot hide,” one netizeb stated.
The incident has reignited calls for stricter enforcement of
traffic laws, with many Kenyans urging authorities to hold the driver
accountable.
The owner of KCG 771D, shame on you.
