Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Operations on the Nairobi Expressway were disrupted on Friday following a self\u2013involved vehicle accident.<\/p>\n

Embakasi subcounty police commander Makau Masai said a motorist lost control of his vehicle damaging the expressway during the incident that occurred on the Expressway near Nation Centre at around 9.30 pm.<\/p>\n

Masai said the driver only identified as Mutuku didn\u2019t sustain any injuries.<\/p>\n

He said the incident was reported to Embakasi police station as a non-injury road traffic accident along Expressway causing damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt around 21.30 hours near Nation Centre, Mutuku was driving a Subaru Impreza from Nairobi CBD direction towards Mlolongo when he lost control and veered off the road damaging four guardrails and one anti-collision steel pipe,\u201d Masai said.<\/p>\n

He spoke to the Star on the phone on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He said the vehicle was towed to Embakasi police station for inspection.<\/p>\n

Several road accidents have been witnessed on the expressway even as the government puts stringent measures on motorists who damage the infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Moja Expressway, the company managing the Nairobi Expressway, had earlier released a list of fines that motorists could potentially face if they break rules on the highway.<\/p>\n

The 27-kilometre Nairobi Expressway begins at Mlolongo, connects Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to the CBD, and then terminates at James Gichuru in Westlands.<\/p>\n

Hoisting fees and towing fees for stalled cars on the highway will be as follows:<\/p>\n

Class 3 vehicle (hoisting fee is Sh32,000, towing fee is between Sh4,000 and Sh12,000), Class 4 vehicles (hoisting fee is Sh40,000 and towing fee between Sh 6,000 and Sh17,000), Class 5 vehicles (hoisting fee Sh50,000 and towing fee between Sh10,500 and Sh23,000).<\/p>\n

Class 6 vehicles (hoisting fee between Sh70,000 and 140,000), towing fee between Sh20,000 and 40,000 and graffiti fine Sh2,362.<\/p>\n
