Car carrier overturns along Mombasa-Nairobi highway at Kibwezi damaging new brand cars.
A multiple-car carrier overturned in Kibwezi on the Mombasa highway, damaging brand new cars that were destined for Nairobi.
According to police, the driver and his aide were also hurt in the collision.
The majority of auto importers choose a car carrier over a driver to transport their vehicles on the 400-kilometer trip from Mombasa to Nairobi, or on to other locations such landlocked neighbors Burundi, Uganda, and Rwanda.
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, but they were later loaded on another carrier and transported to Nairobi where owners are still counting losses.
“It is the last thing you want to hear when expecting a unit (vehicle) from Mombasa,” said James Ngung’u a car dealer.
“I am expecting some units from Mombasa and so when I heard that there is an accident, I got so worried because I did not know what to tell the owners, luckily we were not affected.”
For those affected, he said, “they will have to seek guidance from their insurers and the carrier but I can assure you it is not as easy. It is a complex matter,” he said.
