5 killed in matatu crash at Sachangwan blackspot

 

Five people died on Monday morning when the 14-seater matatu they were travelling in hit a bump, veered off the Nakuru-Eldoret road and landed in a ditch.

Molo sub-county police commander Mwenda Mutamia cofnirmed the report, saying this was a self-involved accident.

The crash involving an Eldoret Shuttle Sacco matatu took place at 2am.

"The speeding vehicle was ferrying passengers from Eldoret to Nairobi. Six adults and two children were among those who sustained minor injuries and were rushed to Molo sub-county hospital," Mr Mutamia said.

He urged motorists to be cautious while driving at night.

The bodies were taken to that hospital’s mortuary and the wreckage of the matatu towed to Molo Police Station.    BY DAILY NATION
