Two people have been confirmed dead and several others injured in an accident at the notorious Sachangwan blackspot.

Reports indicate that one of the victims who perished in the 12am accident along the Nakuru-Eldoret highway was an expectant woman.

The driver is said to have lost control of the vehicle which rolled several times before landing in a ditch.

According to nominated MCA Rachel Maru, the injured passengers were taken to Nakuru Level Five Hospital.

The bodies of those who perished were moved to the Nakuru County mortuary, she added.

Area residents lamented over the ever increasing number of accidents at Sachangwan.

They are now appealing to the government to consider placing a standby ambulance since accidents have seemingly become the norm.
