Three police officers and a civilian were killed on Sunday evening after a police vehicle from Nguutani Police Station lost control and rolled several times near Mwatungo Primary School, a few kilometres from Kithyoko market along the Mwingi-Garissa Road.
The vehicle was carrying four police officers and a civilian at the time of the accident.
One officer died on the spot, while a second officer died after being rushed to Kithyoko Level Three Hospital. A third officer was transferred to Matuu Level Four Hospital but succumbed on arrival. The civilian also died on arrival at the same facility.
Police said one officer survived the crash and is admitted in stable condition at Matuu Level Four Hospital.
Attempts to get comment from the Migwani police commander were unsuccessful, with the officer requesting more time to verify details of the incident.
The crash occurred at a spot that has previously recorded accidents. Last week, a secondary school teacher died at the same location after his motorcycle lost control. His wife sustained injuries and is still receiving treatment.
