Residents of Matunda in Bungoma County set a truck ablaze on Saturday after it lost control and killed five people on the Kitale-Webuye road.
Eyewitnesses reported that the truck, which was coming from Webuye town, suffered brake failure, prompting the driver to attempt to regain control before the vehicle rolled over.
Among the victims were two boda boda riders traveling from Kitale towards Webuye, who were killed instantly in the crash. "The truck was coming from Webuye towards Kitale when it reached the Kiminini Matunda bridge and crashed, killing five people," a witness recounted.
