Emergency services responded to the accidents and had managed to clear one crash involving a probox vehicle that had been transporting timber.

In a separate accident on the same road, a personal car lost control past Weitethie to Ndarugo crashing into the road barriers.

The road has witnessed a number of accidents over the past week since the enforcement of curfew hours with police blocking the road.

On Monday, April 19, a privately owned lorry rammed into a police vehicle that had been positioned along the Thika Superhighway as part of the night curfew enforcement measures.  

The lorry hit and overturned the police canter, critically injuring some of the officers who were rushed to hospital.
