Editor's Review

A trailer plying the same route as his car suddenly lost control and rammed into his car.

NTV Political Editor Ben Kitili is a man grateful to God after escaping unhurt in a ghastly accident.

In a statement on his Facebook page, Kitili shared images of his car that was somewhat damaged on the sides after being hit by a trailer.

He revealed that he and two other passengers escaped unhurt and added that it was a miraculous escape.

"Mungu anapenda watu wake sana. Always thank God when you go out and get back home in one piece. My two passengers and I are okay. My baby (my car) not so much but we thank God," he said.

According to Kitili, a trailer plying the same route as his car suddenly stalled, lost control and rammed into his car.

The car was damaged on the left side though it was not wholly destroyed.

Cases of accidents in the country have been a worrying trend in recent times.

On Sunday, 12 people perished in a road accident in Kitui. The 12 were on their way to dowry negotiations.

They had boarded a 14-seater Matatu which is said to have been overcrowded.

On Friday, 8 people perished in a  separate road accident along Bomet-Narok road.

This is after an Ena Coach collided with a trailer that lost control head-on.

Data by NTSA shows over 1900 have perished in road accidents since January.
