The bump is NOT to blame. The accident was caused by careless driving. Those bumps (and rumble strips, signs) have been there for about 1 yr and that is the first accident. Stretches without bumps have had more accidents within that period.

If it's a busy area with school kids and all, you weka a bridge not bumps!!

What is funny?

Yes it part of the problem among others.

About 10,000 vehicles use that road each day and go over that bump without any incident. Those are about 3m vehicles since those bumps were erected early this year. How is the bump to blame when its only 1 out of 3,000,000 vehicles which has had an issue with those bumps? They should be investigating the mechanical soundness of the canter to establish why it didn't slow down at the "well marked" bump like all the other vehicles in the vicinity did. For 14 cars on a highway to be ignited it means they were close together and must have slowed down at the bump before they were engulfed by what survivors call a river of fire from the inflamable cargo. In fact survivors say the motorists ahead were reversing and pushing the cars behind in a bid to escape from the oncoming river of fire.

I use that rd when going ushago and this yr I have gone thrice meaning I have driven over those bumps 6 times and never noticed anything odd about the bumps since they are like all other bumps including those on thika rd.....ie bump sign, rumble strips then white marked bumps.
