Ruaka Residents Burnt a New Land Cruiser 300 After Driver Hit And Killed 2 Pedestrians On Ruaka-Ndenderu Road.
Kiambaa Sub-county Police Commander Pius Mwanthi said the victims, a man and a woman, were attempting to cross the road on foot when the vehicle hit them. The two died on spot.
The new land cruiser was set on fire by an irate mob following the accident.
Despite attempts by the area police officers to quell the raging crowd, the adamant residents went ahead to vandalise the newly acquired vehicle before setting it ablaze.
The angry locals accused the government of negligence by failing to construct a footbridge to curb the road accidents that have occasionally been reported along the same highway.
Police said they have since launched an investigation to trace the vehicle’s owner and determine the exact cause of the accident.
The bodies of the deceased were taken to the Kihara mortuary for post-mortem examinations, while the wreckage of the vehicle were moved to the Kiambaa police station for further investigation.
