Kenya has, unfortunately, had a series of very unfortunate accidents, ranging from an air crash to one involving a train and several road accidents.
In a chilling accident that occurred at the Coptic Roundabout in Kisumu, many people died, and families are now mourning a total of 27 people who lost their lives.
To make matters worse, the passengers of the AIC Naki High School bus had come from a funeral and were still mourning their loved ones.
In Mwihoko, there was a plane crash that also killed six people, and the country is still reeling from the aftershock of such a story.
How did Kenyans help the drunk driver?
In a video shared by the @nairobi_express, the driver is seen in his driver's seat, and off-camera voices are telling him to come out of his lorry.
"Why are you driving this huge lorry while drunk?" asked one of the people who rescued him.

How did Kenyans speculate about the incident?
While some people were okay with the video of the man being posted to show the dangers on the road, others were worried that he could lose his job.
Others were worried that angry Kenyans would beat him up for endangering his life and those of other road users, and urged them not to do it.
"People are going through a lot of stressful situations, and it is not their fault that they may be in such a situation; please don't beat him up. It is not easy to be a man, " said a netizen.
Some people weren't happy about the man allegedly playing around with his job, and yet many people were looking for jobs.
"I am just crying out here with my DL, I was told to go and stay in the garage," said a netizen.

Victims of Naki bus accident set for mass service
In a previous story, it emerged that the 27 victims of the AIC Naki Secondary School bus accident, which occurred at the Copitic Roundabout, will be buried after a mass ceremony.
Some of the victims of the ill-fated bus are now in the hospital receiving treatment for their injuries.
The funeral committee gave the way forward for the accident victims and how Kenyans could come together and help the families, some with children who have been left orphans after the death of both their parents.
