2 Killed In Naivasha Accident

The early morning accident took place near the Naivasha GK Prison fly-over when a lorry ferrying oranges lost control and rammed into two vehicles.

According to Joseph Chege, the lorry hit the side of his car, lost control and hit a group of flower farm workers who were on their way to work.

The lorry also hit a probox taxi carrying police officers and dragged them for several metres.

A speed gadget used by the police to monitor speeding vehicles was spoiled in the accident.

The gadget costs over a million shillings.

Those who died included a police officer in the probox vehicle.

Those injured are receiving treatment at Naivasha District Hospital.

Naivasha OCPD Charles Kotok confirmed that one farm worker and a police officer were transfferred to Kijabe Mission Hospital.

The mangled vehicles have been towed to the Naivasha Polive Station to assist in the investigations.

The lorry driver is yet to be found as he fled from the accident scene.
