A 46-year-old man drove his car into the deep waters of the Likoni Channel in the wee hours of yesterday. Four hours later, his body was pulled out of his maroon saloon car from the bed of the sea.

At the time of the incident, witnesses say, none of the five vessels run by the Kenya Ferry Services that move passengers from Mombasa to the South Coast were operational.
