I have noted a disturbing trend along langata road just before the turn off to southlands. Most of the sunday early mornings when I pass there I've found bad accidents with the car damaged to the extent of a writeoff.

This does not make sense at all since the road in that particular spot is straight and clear, and why saturday nights?

Having read about Insurance fraud afew weeks ago, where langata & mombasa roads were identified as some of the favourite spots for 'faking' accidents for the purpose of facilitating a claim, I begining to suspect that their is a connection.

Today its a black subaru, which seems to have rolled several times, I am not sure how because its at the side of the road.

Anyone else who has noticed this?

The turn offs on that road arent the best like that one to langata you have to be very patient for the cars coming from karen and rongai to clear coz they are usually at incredible speed if you cock up kidogo thats the end of you someone will ram into you at speeds of 80kph upwards...kwanza those big rongai buses can kill you...the other turn offs especially the one at uhuru gardens just at the gate has its view obstructed by the trees city council guys planted...dnt know if they were trimmed or removed who can be silly enough to plant trees nxt to a turn off...the other one at carni is also a disaster...now ongeza walevi on auto pilot its disaster all over and its actually Gods grace that the road witnesses much fewer accidents...rem the merc which ploughed into a truck a few years back....that scene was so grisly its still in my mind...

this is so mundane in the car hire world where a car's work life's worth has been maxed out, the owner hires it out to a guy whom he pays an amount to crash the car to the extent of a write off and have the insurance guys pay for it rather than goin through the hurdles of selling it at the end of its work life, the guy crashing the car is some professional petrolhead who can crash a car and walk away with a few scratches

@maka
Its not at the junction, its before the turn off, afew metres after the place where the bypass intersects with langata road.

Its always around the same spot on the same side of the road.
