Two men and a woman narrowly escaped a fatal accident as their lorry plunged into the Ena River along the Embu-Meru highway in Embu County.
The incident unfolded when the driver, transporting a load of cement, swerved to avoid a collision with another lorry that allegedly disregarded traffic rules.
Witnesses recounted hearing a deafening crash as the lorry plunged into the river, its cargo sinking into the murky waters.
Swift action from bystanders led to the rescue of the occupants, who were trapped inside the partially submerged vehicle.
Embu County Police Commander, Nicholas Maina, confirmed that the three had been rushed to Tenri Ena Hospital for urgent medical attention.
