New details have emerged regarding a previous road incident involving former Lugari Member of Parliament Cyrus Jirongo in Nairobi before the fatal crash in Naivasha that claimed his life.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that Jirongo was once involved in a late-night incident near the Westlands area where his Range Rover reportedly veered off the road and struck a roadside structure.
Members of the public are said to have found him inside the vehicle unharmed and assisted him to continue his journey.
No formal charges were pursued at the time, and the incident did not result in serious injury.
The resurfacing account has renewed public discussion about Jirongo’s lifestyle and history of high-risk behaviour, particularly during his years at the height of political and business influence.
Associates have previously described him as outgoing, social and unreserved about public appearances during late-night gatherings.
However, close allies and family members have cautioned against drawing conclusions linking the past incident to the circumstances of his death.
They insist that investigations into the Naivasha crash remain ongoing and should be guided strictly by verified evidence.
Authorities have confirmed that the fatal accident in Naivasha occurred after Jirongo’s vehicle was involved in a collision with a public service bus along the Nairobi-Naivasha highway.
Police and forensic teams are reviewing CCTV footage, vehicle data and witness accounts to establish the exact sequence of events leading to the crash.
Leaders and commentators have urged restraint as investigations continue, noting that historical anecdotes should not overshadow official findings.
They have also called for respect for the family during the period of mourning.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has assured the public that all relevant factors surrounding the final crash will be thoroughly examined before conclusions are made.
