Ten people perished in a horrific road accident in Soy, along the Eldoret-Kitale highway, Friday.
The ten, five men and five women, were travelling in a matatu from Kitale to Nairobi when a speeding lorry ferrying water pipes rammed it.
According to witnesses, the driver of the lorry which was heading towards Kitale, lost control and hit the oncoming matatu from its side at Chemoset junction, killing the driver and eight passengers on the spot.
Police reported that one more passenger, who was among five survivors, died upon arrival at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Eldoret where they had been rushed for specialised care.
