A tragic accident has claimed the life of a motorist after his vehicle plunged into a river at the bridge connecting Gatundu North and Gatundu South.
According to area resident and DCP MP aspirant, Arch. Mwangi Mathew Mukuha, the driver died on the spot following the incident, which has once again raised concerns over safety at the crossing.
Mukuha noted that residents have repeatedly appealed for the installation of guardrails at the bridge, citing a history of similar accidents. However, their pleas have gone unanswered.
Local residents are now calling on the relevant authorities to urgently address the safety risks at the site to prevent further loss of life.
