The driver of a pick-up truck transporting charcoal died while fleeing from police officers near the Kiri coffee factory on the Kiamutugu-Kianyaga road in Gichugu, Kirinyaga County, in an attempt to avoid paying a bribe of KES 3000.
According to Simon Njoroge, a charcoal dealer who survived the accident, the two were traveling from Kitui County when they arrived in Kiamutugu on their way to Kianyaga and were stopped by two police officers from the Kiamutugu police station, who demanded KES 3000, which they refused.
Although they usually give them KES 1000, Njoroge claimed that the two police officers driving a Probox vehicle were extremely hostile and demanded KES 3000.
He claimed that when their vehicle lost control and rolled several times, they decided to flee from the officers at high speed.
