The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has revoked the driving licence of a lorry driver who was involved in an accident that left eight people dead.
NTSA, in a statement on Monday, said they have permanently revoked the driving license of Abdulle Ali Mohamed.
Mohamed’s vehicle rammed into a 14-seater matatu last week at Chepsir, Nakuru County killing nine people.
NTSA director general Francis Meja said investigations conducted after the accident showed that Mohamed caused the accident.
“The authority has permanently revoked the driving license of the driver of the trailer Mr Abdulle Ali Mohamed. Preliminary investigations into the cause of the crash indicates that the driver was descending in the climbing lane towards oncoming traffic without due care causing a head-on collision with the PSV registration number KCN 236X belonging to South Rift Sacco,” said NTSA in a statement.
The director general warned other motorists to be careful and follow traffic rules.
“The Authority also cautions motorists that similar action shall be taken against drivers who disregard traffic rules,” he said.
