Five people died on the spot in a grisly accident near Eldama Ravine town.

Their saloon car is said to have veered off at Kabonyony on the Eldoret-Eldama Ravine Road and plunged into a ditch.

Koibatek sub-county police commander Rashid Mohammed said the accident occurred at around 5am on Wednesday.

Police have moved the bodies to the morgue at Eldama Ravine Hospital.

The occupants of the vehicle were reportedly three men and two women.

It has not been established whether all were family members.
