Angel of death

Kenyans have been frightened by Dennis Muigai who happens to be a witness to both accidents. Screenshots of the Muigai giving statements at both scenes of accident have been widely shared on social media.

Standard guardrails are supposed to curl off to the side when hit in high speed. This was not the case in the accident that claimed the life of Nyeri governor

Faulty guardrails were killing and maiming hundreds of motorists in US before authorities replaced them with ones which curl off to the side when hit in high speed.
