Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Yet another fuel tanker accident has reportedly occurred along the Kisumu-Nairobi Highway in Kisumu County.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on the evening of Monday, July 19, and was the result of a driver losing control of the tanker, veering off the road, and eventually overturning.<\/p>\n

The accident occurred at the Kasagam flyover, and police officers who rushed to the scene reported that the accident did not claim any lives.<\/p>\n

Police moved swiftly to disperse members of the public who had congregated at the scene of the accident, ready to siphon fuel from the overturned tanker.<\/p>\n

Kisumu County Commissioner Josphin Ouko led the manning operations of the tanker in preventing the public from siphoning fuel, as well as redirecting traffic on the busy Kisumu-Nairobi Highway.<\/p>\n

Police officers advised motorists to use an alternative route on the busy Kisumu-Nairobi highway to reduce any traffic congestion around the area, which may have made it harder for police and firefighters to manage the situation.<\/p>\n

Firefighters from Kisumu County rushed to the scene to contain any fire that could have erupted from the tanker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fuel was still flowing along the stream\u2026on our arrival immediately, we managed to clear off anybody who was around\u2026we don\u2019t want any incident of fire occurrence,\u201d reported a police officer.<\/p>\n

Residents in the area rushed to the scene ready to fetch fuel from the tanker, despite the imminent danger of a possible explosion, and the numerous cases of tanker explosions in the past, that claimed lives.<\/p>\n

The incident happened a day after another fuel tanker overturned in Malanga, along the Kisumu-Busia road on Sunday, July 18, killing 15 people. Other victims of the explosion sustained serious injuries.<\/p>\n

Residents in the area had gone to fetch fuel following the tanker accident when the tanker exploded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
