Matatu veers off road, kills two boda boda riders

Two people were on Saturday evening killed after a matatu veered off the road on the Kapsowar-Eldoret highway and landed on them.

The driver of the matatu reportedly attempted to overtake a lorry when he lost control and the vehicle skidded off the road, instantly killing two boda boda riders.

Irate area residents are said to have torched the matatu following the incident.

Bodies of the deceased have since been transferred to the Iten Referral Hospital.
