Prison protests
The accident comes just a day after chaos broke out in Kamiti Maximum Security Prison on Monday forcing the authorities to call in anti-riot police.
The facility which holds serious offenders was brought to a standstill as inmates climbed on rooftops refusing to take orders from warders.
Officials claimed that the protests broke out after inmates refused to surrender contraband to the warders.
