Tuesday night in Titanic Area in Juja, Kiambu County, a car carrying a man and a woman crashed into a dam, killing both of them instantly.

The two were reportedly having fun in the automobile that was parked a short distance from the dam when, at around 7.30 p.m., they heard cries for assistance.

 

"I overheard a woman shouting; she was trying to swim to safety in the dam, but sadly there were no divers nearby. The woman was able to exit the car through the windows after it crashed into the dam "Local neighbor Lucy Muthoni said.

 

Alcohol bottles can be found strewn about at the dam's banks, a blatant sign that the location is frequently used for parties.

 

"They hang out here and park their cars every day, but on the weekends, there are so many of them that it becomes impossible to obtain a parking space. According to one of the locals, Brian Njoroge, this is not the first instance.

 

MCA Murera Ward Moses Ngatha Wabiri announced that he will introduce a proposal in the Kiambu County Assembly to require the county administration to fence every dam in the county in order to stop similar incidents from occurring in the future.

"We must take action since this is not the first time that people have died in this dam. We'll demand that the county assembly pay aside money for this dam fencing "said Wabiri.

 

The man who was found naked was found this morning and his body was transferred to General Kago morgue in Thika. The woman's body was recovered last night.

 

Since then, the Nissan X-trail automobile has been pulled from the dam.
