A driver of a tanker transporting Super Petrol died on the spot after the vehicle he was driving lost control and landed into a ditch at Pinyinyi area along the Narok- Maai Mahiu highway today.

Narok Police commander Kizito Mutoro said one passenger who was in the vehicle at the time of the accident suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Narok County Referral Hospital where he is receiving treatment.

Mutoro said the driver was ferrying highly flammable super petrol towards the Narok Town direction in the vehicle registration number KAQ 277P.

“On reaching the location of the accident, he lost control of the vehicle and veered off to the left side of the road and landed into a ditch as you face Narok direction,” confirmed the police boss.

The body of the deceased was taken to Narok County Referral Hospital mortuary pending postmortem.

The police boss confirmed that the ill-fated vehicle was highly guarded to prevent members of the public from tampering with the super petrol that is very flammable.

He called on motorists to be careful while plying along the road saying the Pinyinyi spot is marked as a black spot as many accidents have happened in the area in the past years.
