Traffic along Thika Road, was, on Saturday, March 25, disrupted after a lorry ferrying maize and beans overturned on the busy highway.
Various reports indicate that the lorry overturned around the Ndarugo - next to Juja, minutes after 10 am.
Motorists using the road were filmed looting the maize and beans in guinea bags, as most of them put the farm produce in their cars before driving off.
The overturned lorry blocked the lane of vehicles heading to the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).
Other passers-by used boda boda to ferry the loot even as the police arrived to restore traffic flow.
Given the confusion witnessed on the highway, police focused on restoring the traffic to order.
Kenyans plying the route also called on the police to add more officers on the ground to deal with the looters who were making the situation worse.
"Traffic along Thika superhighway is being caused by Kenyans looting beans from the lorry involved in a bad accident," one of the motorists lamented.
"Everywhere is clogged up including the service lanes. Road trip blues," Andre Byama added.
Other motorists also sought to use other alternatives.
The cause of the accident was yet to be known by the time of publishing. However, preliminary reports indicate that the lorry lost control before hitting the side rail and overturning.
Police were also yet to remove the lorry from the lane.
