3 Perish in a Kanduyi-Malaba Road Carnage; Scores injured

-
A grisly road accident has claimed three lives and left scores injured at Nang'eni along the Kanduyi-Malaba.

According to onlookers, the truck lost control,swerved and smashed a matatu belonging to West Tours Sacco, dismembering it and butchering three occupants instantly before plunging to the roadside and seriously injuring the driver.

"I saw the truck skid from one side to the other. It was evidently incontrollable. It swerved before hitting the matatu from behind and destroying it. As you can see the matatu is in no good shape. Screams were all over. We ran here only to find people badly injured and about 3 dead. The truck fell across the road," Jane,a witness to the accident told our reporter. She added,"the matatu was well parked at the Nang'eni stage and a passenger was alighting. The truck hit it from behind. "

Bungoma traffic police have confirmed the incident and cautioned truck drivers against driving at high speeds.


The survivors were rushed to Bungoma county referral hospital and the dead taken to the hospital's morgue.
