Police whisk away the drunk driver
“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,” The activist wrote.
Dispatchers who arrived at the scene of the crash conducted an alcoblow test on the driver and found him to be drunk.
Apart from being drunk, the driver did not have a valid driving licence with the owner of the car reportedly attempting to twist the story in his favour to have to pass costs to the insurer of the vehicle.
