Two perish in grisly Embu road accident

Two passengers died while nine others sustained serious injuries after a matatu they were travelling in lost control and rolled several times at Difathas along Embu-Nairobi Highway in Kirinyaga County.

The Matatu, which belongs to Memba Sacco, was heading towards Meru from Nairobi when the accident occurred.

According to David Kamau, an eyewitness, the matatu was speeding and it tried to avoid hitting an oncoming Toyota Probox car ferrying miraa when he spotted a pothole and tried to dodge, but lost control and careened out of the road.

He said most of the victims sustained head injuries and broken limbs, including the Probox driver.

Confirming the accident, Embu traffic boss, John Luganda, said that two passengers died in various hospitals while nine others are recuperating at different hospitals.
