Ambulance Driver Charged With Careless Driving For Not Giving Way To Vehicle Ferrying Miraa

An ambulance driver is said to have caused an accident on December 11, along Embu-Siakago road where he failed to give way to another vehicle.

Erick Joseph Njagi was charged with ‘careless driving contrary to section 49 (1) of the Traffic Act.

Mr Njagi appeared in court on Wednesday, where the judge heard that he did not give way to a Toyota Probox Succed (KCK 986Q) that was ferrying miraa (Khat).

The Judge who was utterly surprised also heard that the police detained the ambulance (GKA 965D) and instead asked the driver to use an alternative route to get the patient on board to hospital.

The case will be heard in January 2018.
