Wilberforce speaking to the press a few moments after being rushed to hospital remarked that he had sustained minor injuries. 

The head-on collision led him to sustain a leg injury. He nonetheless exuded optimism he would be discharged soon. 

It was reported that the crew accompanying the resort director sustained more life-threatening injuries. 

The stretch between Salama and Emali at Nairobi-Mombasa Road has become an accident hotspot claiming over 10 lives in the last month. 

On April 1, five vehicles collided in the area causing the death of 10 people and injuries to 17 others. 

Security officials at the time attributed the accident to careless driving by a truck driver that caused a series of collisions

On April 11, a minibus carrying over 30  passengers plunged into a river near the scene of the first accident. 

It was later revealed that the driver was escaping National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) officials who had pitched camp in Salama Town to enforce a crackdown on  unroadworthy vehicles.
