A video has emerged online showing the moment before two men crashed a new Bentley Continental GT worth Sh 28 million while they were enjoying a ride in it on Wednesday afternoon.
In the video, one of the two unidentified men is seen recording a video using his phone to show off the classy Bentley Continental GT on Kenyan roads, while another man is busy accelerating the car at high speeds.
CAR CRASH
Things, however, start going wrong as the driver appears to be struggling to slow down the vehicle just 27 seconds into their drive.
The camera starts shaking vigorously as the driver loses control of the car which veers off the road, rolls and stops.
