I witnessed an accident on Outering Road & recorded the immediate aftermath. Here’s how it happened.

I witnessed an accident on Outering Road and captured the moments immediately after it happened. Fortunately, there was no fatality involved, but it was such a near miss. The injured, a woman and a child, were close to being run over by a matatu (KCA 751Z - ATS SACCO), This accident was totally preventable. It happened on 19th June, 2025. As you will realize when you watch this episode of TPR (The Passionate Roaditor), there can be multiple causes of an accident. This accident also shows how lack of enforcement of traffic rules, including the use of footbridges by pedestrians, can lead to serious injury, and even death in some instances. Here now is a blow by blow account of how the accident happened. This is unparalleled analysis of an accident, as only TPR can provide.

TPR is calling on the National Transport & Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Police, to enforce the use of the pedestrian footbridge at the renown Allsopps intersection.
