Two people died on the spot Friday evening after being involved in a road accident near the weighing station located in Kajiado on Namanga highway.
This is after a pick-up collided head-on with a matatu that was coming from Kajiado to Nairobi.
Those who witnessed the accident, including the driver of the matatu involved in the accident, say that the pick-up truck that was carrying the passengers and its driver broke the front wheel and lost direction.
The operator failed to control it and then collided with the matatu, where they fell and caused the death of the driver and one passenger.
The passengers in the matatu were not affected, while the survivor rushed to Kitengela Medical Hospital in Kajiado to receive treatment where he was later allowed to go home.
The bodies of the two were taken to Kajiado referral hospital mortuary.
The Police Commander in the central Kajiado sub-county Daudi Loronyokwe has confirmed the accident over the phone, stressing the need for motorists to be careful and avoid excessive speed to avoid accidents.
