A mother and her baby narrowly escaped death after a container crash landed and badly damaged the car they were traveling in.

According to reports, the yet-to-be identified lady had just stepped out of the ill-fated vehicle together with her baby when the trailer came tumbling down and smashed the small vehicle.

“Wacheni Mungu aitwe Mungu (Let God’s name be praised). A lady driver and her baby escape death by a whisker after a trailer crash landed on their car at Syokimau along Mombasa road just moments after getting out of the car to buy a soda,” the governor shared on Saturday, April 6.
