John Macharia, son to SK Macharia, has passed on after being involved in a road accident with his Porsche car along the Southern bypass.
It is reported that the deceased had dinner at the Karen Hub before proceeding to the Southern by-pass where the accident occurred around 10pm.
This was not the first accident for him.
In November 2016, a Porsche belonging to the son of Royal Media Services mogul SK Macharia was involved in an accident at Museum Hill, Nairobi.
Young Macharia was cruising his new Porsche when he crashed into a Toyota Prado that was ahead of him. He survived the accident unscathed.
However, he was arrested and charged for drunk driving. He pleaded guilty and was remorseful saying he would not repeat the offence.
John died at the Karen Hospital where he was rushed for treatment.
