A pickup belonging to a security company on Wednesday afternoon overturned on the mainland side of the Likoni ferry crossing.
This comes about 10 hours after a truck plunged into the ocean at the same area.
The pickup, belonging to SGA security company, was heading to Mombasa island from the Likoni mainland.
It was carrying household goods, including a sofa set.
The driver and another occupant in the car sustained slight injuries.
According to witnesses, the pickup driver had just paid for the vehicle at the toll station when the brakes failed.
The driver, sensing danger, with the prospect of plunging into the ocean, tried to swerve to make the vehicle stop.
"In the process, it overturned about three times before landing upside down," said Omondi Oscar, a witness.
Likoni residents now say the area is cursed and needs cleansing.
"It is not normal that such things are happening with this kind of frequency. The owners of the sea want blood," said Mwachiponi Mwachiba.
Mwachiba, who has lived in Likoni for over 60 years, said there needs to be an animal sacrifice to cleans the area.
"In the past, there used to be an annual sacrifice here. The elders used to appease the gods of the sea by sacrificing goats, sheep or even cows. Just so there is blood," said Mwachiba.
On Sunday morning, a Pollmans Tours and Safaris bus plunged into the sea after it slid off the ramp.
