14 Perish in Gruesome Road Crash along Kitale-Webuye Road

14 people died in a gruesome road crash involving multiple vehicles at Kamukuywa bridge along Kitale-Webuye highway on Monday night.

Confirming the accident, Bungoma North OCPD Eliud Okello said that a 14-seater matatu rammed into a tractor that was carrying sugar cane at Kamukuywa bridge. A couple of other vehicles including lorries and private cars were also involved in the 9pm accident.

13 people died on the spot, while the other passed on while being taken to a nearby health facility for treatment. “The 9pm accident has made more people to lose their lives, it seems that there was no erected sign to show there was an accident ahead,” Okello said.

Several other people sustained injuries and were rushed to Kimilili and Webuye sub county hospitals. This comes after the weekend police truck accident that claimed tens of lives in Baringo and another along Nakuru-Eldoret highway on Saturday, where seven musicians died on the spot.
