In the evening of November 30, 2024, a car accident occurred in Remera Sector, Kigali, when a hotel employee attempted to remove a vehicle from the hotel’s garage but instead crashed into a nearby resident’s house.
According to sources, the incident happened at Five to Five Hotel, where an employee was instructed to move the car out of the garage. However, while performing the task, the vehicle veered off and collided with a resident’s home.
SP Emmanuel Kayigi, the Rwanda Police spokesperson for Road Safety, confirmed the accident and attributed it to negligence. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported.
“The accident occurred in Nyabisindu Cell, Remera Sector, Gasabo District, on Saturday afternoon, November 30, 2024,” SP Kayigi stated. “It appears to have been caused by a failure to properly use rearview mirrors, combined with carelessness and poor vehicle management when leaving the parking lot.”
He emphasized the importance of caution while driving and urged drivers to remain vigilant at all times.
“Drivers must exercise care and avoid errors that could lead to accidents,” SP Kayigi advised.
The incident serves as a reminder for drivers to adhere to safety measures and maintain focus to prevent accidents on the road.
