Four people died and seven others were injured on Tuesday night in two separate road accidents in Kisumu.

Three people died and five were seriously injured after an oil tanker lost control and rammed into a tuk-tuk at Kachok area on the Kisumu-Nairobi highway.

Nyanza traffic boss Andrew Naibei said two women died on the spot while an infant passed on while being rushed to Kisumu county hospital.

The five injured were admitted at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital.

Mr. Naibei said the tanker lost control after hitting a bump before hitting the tuk-tuk.

The Busia-bound bus was travelling from Nairobi when it lost control at 3am.

The bus was towed to Awasi Police Station pending a probe to identify what caused the accident.
