“Anataka kutuua?(Loosely translated as: He wants to kill us),” one passenger giving the chase says angrily.
In a rejoinder, another angry passenger says, “Tumemkataza, ameambiwa mara ngapi asikimbie (How many times did we warn him of speeding).”
In the background, some passengers are heard requesting the angry men not to harm him.
