Media personality Nick Odhiambo has revealed that he was involved in a road accident after choosing to drive while exhausted, an experience he described as a sobering lesson on the dangers of fatigue behind the wheel.
Sharing the incident on social media on Thursday, January 1, 2025, Nick said everything had been going well until he decided to drive despite being extremely tired.
The accident resulted in significant damage to his Audi A5, which he appeared to bid farewell to, noting that he may need to get another car soon.
“Everything was going really well until I decided to drive while exhausted… seems like I might have to get another car soon. Goodbye my cute A5,” he wrote.
While he did not disclose details about injuries or the exact circumstances of the crash, Nick’s message suggested that he was safe.
He also issued an emotional message to his children, expressing remorse and promising to be more responsible going forward.
“To my kids… I won’t let you down again,” he added.
Mua Bridge accident
This comes a month after three people, including two men and a woman, died in a fatal road accident on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at Mua Bridge near Kyumbi Market on the Mombasa–Nairobi Highway in Machakos County.
Confirming the incident, Athi River East Sub-County Police Commander Anderson Mbae said the deceased include a 32-year-old female passenger, the matatu driver, and a 51-year-old male passenger.
Mbae attributed the accident to an unregistered HOWO lorry travelling from Mombasa toward Nairobi, which veered into the wrong lane and blocked oncoming vehicles. The lorry, driven by 46-year-old Mulandi Mumbwa, collided head-on with a matatu.
“David Muli, 54, the driver of the PSV matatu under KAM SACCO, is among those who died on the spot,” the OCPD said.
Seventeen people were rushed to Machakos Level 5 Referral Hospital with various injuries. Witnesses at the scene said the matatu fell on its right side near the driver.
The bodies were moved to Machakos Level 5 Referral Mortuary, awaiting autopsy, while the vehicles were towed to Kyumbi Police Station for inspection.
Machakos County Health CECM Justus Kasivu said the hospital had received 37 patients with a mix of serious and minor injuries.
“All patients are currently being attended to in the Casualty and Radiology departments, and the response is progressing smoothly,” he said.
