Bikundo said that some cars did not stop to help.

Sadly, in their efforts to save the injured, they found out that they all died on the spot, as there were no cries or sounds coming from the car.

“After crossing the Nithi bridge, I saw a car driving at a high speed, apparently losing its brakes, headed to the other side and collided head-on with an oncoming car before overturning. I parked my car and watched the accident happen. People screamed. When I tried to help, the car doors were locked, there were cries and the car was badly damaged,” Bikundo said.
