Three people have reportedly been confirmed dead while others were injured, after a car crashed before being set ablaze at Kenol Stage near Raila Odinga International Stadium along Ngong Road in Nairobi.
According to reports, the incident which took place on Thursday, October 29, 2026, in the morning of Thursday, at around 7:25 am, occurred when a dark blue saloon car lost control while travelling at high speed from the Ngong side.
Reports indicate that the vehicle hit the pavement before veering off the road and knocking a woman who was waiting for a matatu to town before it was burnt down by angry boda boda riders.
The woman reportedly died on the spot alongside two others who sustained injuries and were rushed to the hospital.
According to close sources, the police recovered two bottles of alcohol from the wreckage, raising suspicions that the driver could have been under the influence of alcohol.
Further reports indicate that in the aftermath of the accident, boda boda riders reportedly set the wreckage on fire, claiming they wanted to chase away bad omens associated with the fatal crash.
Additionally, according to images seen by Whisperswire, a car was extensively damaged and engulfed in flames as rescuers and members of the public rushed to the scene to help in rescue efforts.
