“One died at the hospital. This problem will be addressed once the government erects speed bumps on this section of the road,” he said.
He said in the last two months, over ten people had died on the section of the road.
The public scampered for safety, leaving one man trapped underneath the rumbles.
Naivasha Sub-county commissioner Mutua Kisilu attributed the accident to poor workmanship on the wall.
“We had an incident where one man was injured, and a Nissan matatu damaged after a wall collapsed,” he said.
