A bizarre incident occurred in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, where a car wash attendant overturned a customer’s brand new Toyota Harrier shortly after the owner had left it for cleaning.
According to reports, the attendant was attempting to move the vehicle when it flipped, causing severe damage.
The owner, visibly shaken and frustrated, was captured in a video making a phone call, likely to the car wash’s manager, demanding immediate solutions for the costly mistake.
He was heard lamenting the major loss he had incurred, questioning how the situation would be resolved.
After the accident, the car wash attendant fled the scene and reportedly headed to the Kitale Police Station, likely fearing the owner’s reaction and seeking protection.
The overturned vehicle drew a crowd of onlookers, who were left puzzled as to how such an accident could happen under these circumstances.
The scene sparked heated discussions, with many questioning the competency and training of workers at local car washes.
This incident brings to light the issue of accountability in car wash services. Entrusting expensive vehicles to untrained or careless workers can lead to significant damage, and owners often have little recourse to recover their losses.
Many are now calling for stricter regulations and better training for attendants in an effort to prevent such accidents from happening in the future.
