An accident involving a fuel tanker occurred just past Thika town overpass in the evening rush hour of Wednesday, October 12.
The tanker overturned at the entrance to Thika town just before Delmonte, forcing the road to be closed and leading to a major snarl-up.
Emergency response teams comprising police and the Kiambu fire team were deployed to the scene immediately after the accident and began working to avoid any further incidents from occurring.
The tanker which had emptied its flammable content was sprayed with foam to ensure no fire would ensue from the spillage.
