Uppercut Matatu Accident
The name “Uppercut” is synonymous with speed, vibrant colors, and often, reckless driving within Nairobi’s bustling matatu culture. Matatus, privately-owned minibuses, are the primary mode of transport for many Kenyans, and Uppercut matatus, known for their flashy exteriors and loud music, have cultivated a notorious reputation. Tragically, this reputation has been cemented by several accidents, with one particular Uppercut matatu accident etching itself in the collective memory due to its severity and the subsequent public outcry.
