As the story of the accident that claimed the life of Nyeri Governor, Dr. Wahome Gakuru, it is emerging that a cocktail of factors contributed to the fatal accident.
According to witnesses interviewed by local media outlets, the road was slippery and the car was moving at great speed when it swerved and hit a guardrail in Kabati.
Slippery roads tend to reduce the grip of vehicle tires, making the vehicles more vulnerable to swerving off roads.
Drivers are advised to move at slow speeds when driving on slippery roads.
While witnesses have hinted at these factors as the cause, police are yet to give a definitive assessment of the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Investigations have opened to determine what happened.
