The Nithi Bridge area has a notorious reputation for road accidents, with previous incidents leading to significant fatalities. For example, on April 7, 2024, four people died and several others were injured when the driver of a Kensilver bus lost control while descending the slope into the infamous spot between Chogoria and Chuka towns in Tharaka Nithi county.

Eyewitnesses linked the fatal accident to reckless driving. The Kampala-Masaka road has been the scene of several crashes in recent years, with poor driving practices and disregard for traffic regulations contributing to the high number of fatalities.

The Uganda Police Traffic and Road Safety Directorate report indicates that from July 7–13, 2024, 81 people died and 301 sustained injuries in road accidents resulting from careless overtaking and overspeeding.
