Fate has a twisted way of catching up to us. A motorist ferrying Sh1.5 million worth of bhang was involved in an accident near Delamere farm in Naivasha yesterday.
The driver and an occupant were seriously injured after ramming into another car on the Nakuru-Nairobi highway.
Another injured occupant fled after traffic police discovered the haul.
Naivasha police commander Samuel Waweru said the driver was attempting to overtake a number of vehicles.
“It was obvious the motorist ferrying the contraband was speeding in an attempt to dodge police manning several roadblocks mounted along the busy highway,” he said.
Waweru said the driver was taken to the Naivasha Hospital, where he was under police watch.
The occupant of the other car escaped unhurt.
Waweru said they suspected the bhang was being taken to Mombasa from Western.
In September last year, police raided the home of a suspected drug dealer in Kayole and seized 80 stones of bhang with an estimated street value of Sh2 million.
The owner of the house escaped.
