The driver was transporting a consignment of mattresses to an undisclosed destination when he lost control of the lorry, causing it to overturn.
Although he survived the crash, he was left dealing with another problem as a crowd gathered around the wreckage and began taking the scattered goods.
Videos shared on social media showed several people picking up the mattresses and walking away with them. Some were seen rushing to collect the items while the driver remained at the scene.
The footage sparked angry reactions from Kenyans, with many condemning those who chose to loot the cargo instead of helping the driver or checking whether he needed assistance.
The incident has once again raised concerns about the behaviour of people who gather at accident scenes to take goods from damaged vehicles.
It also brought back memories of a similar incident in Mubenji, Kakamega County, where a woman confronted people who had taken goods from an accident scene.
The woman reportedly stood guard over the scattered items and urged those who had taken them to return the property. Her actions earned her praise from members
of the public.
