Several Injured, one confirmed dead in Multi-Vehicle Accident Involving Tahmeed Bus

Motorists have been advised to find an alternative and avoid the Embu Meru highway after an accident involving a Tahmeed bus operating on the Isiolo-Mombasa route and two trucks.

Reports indicate one of the truck drivers and his turn boy died instantly.

One of the trucks was carrying timber, another truck was transporting maize, and the Tahmeed passenger bus was heading to Mombasa when the accident occurred near the Sewage area in Embu Town.

According to a witness, one of the lorries, heading toward Nairobi, experienced brake failure and rammed into the second lorry. 

The lorry is said to have been standing still and was being inspected by Embu County enforcement officers at a roadblock. 

Emergency teams from Kirimari Ward flooded the accident scene to rescue the feared casualties.

Witnesses have raised alarm that the area has always been a black spot, causing more accidents.

The accident caused a snarl along the highway and traffic as rescue efforts continued.
