“A drunk driver almost killed my family. It’s almost been an hour since the accident happened. Called 999, still waiting. There is a police road block up ahead, cops from Industrial Area but they won’t respond because the accident happened in Embakasi police area.” Boniface Mwangi said in one of his social media posts.
Boniface Mwangi mentioned that the driver didn’t have a driver’s licence, his drinks were impounded and he was later on arrested. Boniface Mwangi later on thanked one George Dass for stopping and ensuring everyone was safe and staying all through.

Drunk driver has been breathalyzered and found to be drunk and no DL. He has been arrested. Alcohol impounded. I have been told to go on Monday and get a police abstract. My family is safe. Thank you George Dass for stopping, ensuring everyone was safe and staying all through. pic.twitter.com/Qi9vTwcdG1

If you’re the insurer of KCE 201H, the car’s driver was totally drunk. Alcohol was also found in his car. Driver is locked up at Embakasi Police.Owner of the car has shown up at the scene, spoken to the cops, he wants a version that will make the insurer pay for his driver’s DUI. pic.twitter.com/6f5ku4wUiF

Emergency 999 worked for us today but response is painfully slow. @KenyaRedCross showed up before the police, followed by a towing vehicle and some Boda riders whose intentions were questionable, luckily a motorist called George Dass was there to secure everyone’s property. pic.twitter.com/FQHgwcihK1
