Three tourists killed in Kajiado road accident

 

A grisly road accident 

At least three Chinese nationals have been killed in a grisly road at Duka Moja along Oliotoktok-Emali road in Kajiado.

The three, two males and a female, are part of a group of six tourists that was from Amboseli National Park to Nairobi when the accident occurred.

They are said to have succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at Kilome Nursing and Maternity Hospital in Emali where they had been rushed to.

Preliminary investigations, police say, indicate that the rear left wheel of the Toyota Landcruiser in which they were travelling in detached itself from the axle causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

“As a result, the vehicle veered off from the road and overturned,” a brief statement issued by National Police Service Spokesperson Resila Onyango reads.

The three others who escaped with serious injuries are, however, still undergoing treatment at the same facility.

The mangled wreckage of the vehicle is said to have been towed to Mashuuru police investigation as investigations to establish the real cause continue.
