Six people have been confirmed dead and several others injured following a grisly road accident that occurred at Kijauri Shopping Centre on Kisii-Sotik road Friday evening. 10 other people are nursing injuries in various hospitals in Nyamira and Bomet Counties, where they were rushed for emergency treatment.
Three of the 10 sustained life-threatening injuries, and we're transferred to Kaplong Mission Hospital and Nyamira County Referral Hospitals, where they are receiving critical care.
Borabu Subcounty Traffic Police Commander Wycliffe Kundu said, the accident involved a lorry, a public service Nissan matatu and a saloon car. Kundu said the lorry, which was headed towards the Sotik route from Keroka Town, lost control and before it hit the two vehicles which were parked by the roadside along the steep slope between the bridge and Nyansiongo Factory junction.
After hitting the two vehicles, the lorry then flew over a roadside ditch before landing on nearby roadside kiosks.
