An incident occurred on Saturday evening along the Mwea-Embu highway in Kirinyaga, involving a diesel tanker that had overturned. According to reports, the tanker flipped over around 6pm after colliding with a saloon car. The occupants of the car were promptly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
In the aftermath of the accident, hundreds of residents disregarded safety concerns and hurried to extract the valuable liquid from the overturned tanker.
Police officers from Wamumu and Sagana were dispatched to the location shortly afterward. However, they faced challenges in managing the crowd, many of whom were armed with jerry cans.
Subsequently, both the tanker and the saloon car were towed to Sagana police station later that Saturday night, once the authorities had successfully gained control of the situation.
