Motorists were stranded in heavy traffic for hours after riders on two boda boda motorcycles collided head-on seriously injuring three people on the Gataka-Rongai Road in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County on Tuesday evening.
Traffic came to a standstill as their fellow riders blocked the busy road and made frantic efforts to rescue the two boda boda riders and one pilon passenger and rush them to hospital.
According to eyewitnesses, one of the boda boda was heading towards Gataka from Ongata Rongai with one pillion passenger while the other carrying crates of alcohol was heading in the opposite direction before they collided as they both tried to overlap.
