13 injured as two matatus collide on Thika–Mang’u highway

Thirteen people were injured on Friday morning following a grisly head-on collision involving two matatus near Ngoingwa along the busy Thika–Mang’u highway.

The crash occurred when one of the drivers reportedly swerved to avoid a donkey carrying water jerricans, causing the matatu to ram into another oncoming vehicle.

Seven passengers sustained critical injuries, while six others escaped with bruises and minor injuries. Both drivers were also left in critical condition.

Witnesses said one of the vehicles was heading to Thika and the other to Nairobi when the collision happened, trapping several passengers inside the mangled wreckage.

One of the matatus briefly caught fire but locals quickly extinguished the flames as they rushed to rescue the injured.

Footage shared online showed the vehicles severely damaged, with shattered windscreens, crushed seats, broken windows, and deflated tyres.

The accident caused heavy traffic along the busy route before police moved in to clear the wreckage and tow away the vehicles.

No fatalities were reported, but the incident adds to the rising number of road crashes in the country.

Just a day earlier, a man died after a vehicle burst into flames along the Kisumu–Kakamega highway, while in Migori County, two people were killed and seven others injured after a speeding Probox rammed into a trailer.

In another tragic case, six pedestrians died in Kericho County after a lorry ferrying scrap metal lost control and ploughed into passengers waiting to board a matatu.

According to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), 3,397 lives have already been lost in road accidents between January and August this year.

  1. Hey, slow down a sec. When the fire’s crackling, your drink’s within reach, and the chair doesn’t fight your body — that’s https://thefundango.com/ doing its thing. Rockers, loungers, wide folding thrones or simple padded stools — every seat feels like it’s been waiting for you. Strong frames, smart extras, and that rare outdoor comfort that doesn’t feel temporary.
