Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mombasa- Nairobi Highway is one of the most dangerous roads in the world according to research by an international insurance firm.<\/p>\n

The research by the Australian insurance company Budget Direct, ranked the A109 Road as one of the most dangerous based on the accident rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn just an eight-month period of 2019, 27 people died on the Mombasa Road to Nairobi, Kenya. During this period, 2,181 people died in total from road crashes across Kenya \u2013 and 839 of these were pedestrians,\u201d the survey indicated.<\/p>\n

During the study, the company found out from the records of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) that the tuk-tuks were the vehicles least likely to be involved in an accident.<\/p>\n

The report relied on information from national government websites, transport associations, and local news reports and publications.<\/p>\n

Ghana’s Accra to Cape Coast road was listed as the most dangerous road in Africa, recording 6,104 accidents in a 6-year span. Uganda also made it to the list with more than 200 people losing their lives on the Masaka-Kampala highway since 2016.<\/p>\n

Accidents have been rampant on the road in the recent past.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 24, three people who were traveling in a private car died on the spot after their car hit a truck head-on.<\/p>\n

This happened just days after four people lost their lives in a grisly accident where a matatu rammed into the rear end of a stalled trailer.<\/p>\n

Careless road usage has been identified as one of the major causes of accidents on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad that lives have been lost because of a careless road user. The trailer stalled on the road and the driver did not bother to put indicators or warning signs to guide the other road users.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral vehicles nearly rammed into the trailer before the matatu rammed on it,\u201d a witness stated.<\/p>\n

Road users are advised to take precautions including driving under the speed limit and avoiding intoxicants while on the wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
