The boda boda rider on his account said he was heading towards Kiserian when the car spun into the petrol station.

A witness to the incident said the boda boda rider was indeed speeding. However, the car did not yield at the entrance, forcing the boda boda rider to apply emergency brakes that sent him screeching a few meters before hitting the car.

The boda boda rider sustained an injury on his left leg and his motorbike was damaged. Part of the vehicle's bumper has also been damaged.
