Accident paralyses traffic flow on Mai Mahiu -Limuru road for six hours

Trucks line up along the Mai Mahiu-Nairobi road following a six-hour traffic jam that was caused by a truck that developed mechanical breakdown near Mutarakwa center.

Transport along the Mai Mahiu -Limuru road was disrupted for over six hours after tanker ferrying petrol was involved in an accident spilling the fuel on the road.

Tens of motorists had to drive away from the scene on Wednesday night as area residents and tens of motorcycle operators scrambled for the free-flowing fuel.
