Two people lost their lives in a fatal road accident that occurred last night at Kiongwani on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway.
The accident involved a pick-up truck transporting avocados from Mombasa to Nairobi and a fuel tanker heading in the opposite direction. The two vehicles collided head-on, killing the pick-up’s two passengers on the spot.
Both drivers sustained serious injuries and were initially rushed to Sultan Hamud Sub-County Hospital before being referred to Makindu Level 5 Hospital for further treatment.
The bodies of the deceased were taken to the Sultan Hamud mortuary, while the wreckage of the vehicles was towed to Sultan Hamud Police Station for inspection and further investigations.
