NAIROBI, Jan 23 (NNN-KBC) — Five people died and three others were injured after they were involved in a road accident along the Namanga-Kajiado highway.
The Saturday accident involved a head-on collision between a Probox and a salon car.
The driver of the salon car, which was headed to Namanga, reportedly lost control and rammed into the oncoming Probox, killing the four occupants on the spot.
The bodies have since been moved to the Kajiado County Referral Hospital mortuary, while the critically injured passengers are receiving treatment at the same facility.
Confirming the incident Namanga police base commander Jackson Mathenge said the accident may have been caused by human error.
The police are urging motorists to exercise caution and avert what may end up as one of the darkest months on Kenyan roads.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has said it is working on a Transport Integrated Management System that will ground all unroadworthy vehicles and help bring some much-needed sanity on Kenyan roads. — NNN-KBC
