Rabai MP Anthony Kenyan has come out to thank God and Kenyans for their prayers and support after surviving a frightening road accident on Saturday afternoon while travelling to Tezo for the Presidential Tour in Kilifi County.
The incident occurred at approximately 1:30 pm in the Mnarani area when the vehicle carrying the leader, a driver, and a cameraman was involved in a violent collision with another vehicle that was reportedly overtaking from the opposite lane.
According to a statement released after the accident, the impact of the crash was severe, forcing all airbags in the vehicle to deploy instantly.
Despite the frightening nature of the collision, all occupants miraculously escaped with only minor injuries.
“God is Great!” Kenga stated while confirming their safety following the incident.
The statement further reassured the public that the driver, cameraman, and all passengers aboard the vehicle were safe and receiving the necessary attention after the crash.
Witnesses at the scene described the accident as terrifying, saying the vehicles involved appeared badly damaged after the head-on impact scare.
The incident briefly caused tension among motorists and residents in the area, especially considering the convoy was heading for activities related to the ongoing Presidential Tour at the Coast.
Road accidents along the Kilifi-Malindi highway and surrounding roads have continued to raise concern among Kenyans due to reckless overtaking, speeding, and increasing traffic during high-profile political events and holiday movements.
Kenga used the opportunity to thank family members, friends, supporters, and well-wishers who reached out with prayers and messages of encouragement shortly after news of the accident spread online.
“We are deeply grateful to God for His protection during this incident,”the statement read.
“Your solidarity has been invaluable, and we thank you sincerely,” he added.
The accident once again highlights the dangers Kenyan motorists face on major highways, particularly when drivers attempt risky overtaking maneuvers on narrow roads.
Authorities have repeatedly urged road users to exercise patience and caution to avoid fatal crashes.
Even as investigations into the exact circumstances surrounding the accident continue, many supporters have taken to social media to celebrate what they described as a miracle escape, with several thanking God that no lives were lost.
