The motorist who died in the early Sunday morning accident in the Pangani tunnel on Thika Road has been identified as James Ogola, a mechanic at Fitmax garage, according to Starehe sub-county Police Commander Fred Abuga.
Ogola was driving his client Joanne Muthoni’s Mercedes Benz S300 when he rammed a concrete wall at the intersection of Murang’a and Forest roads at the tunnel on the superhighway some minutes after midnight.
A police report stated that Ogola managed to get out of the vehicle that had burst into flames but fell about one metre away and died on the spot.
