Five people perished while several others sustained injuries on Sunday following a gruesome accident along the Eldoret-Malaba Highway involving three vehicles including an oil tanker.
According to reports, the accident involved a tractor, Probox and an oil tanker. Besides the five passengers who perished, two other travellers sustained serious injuries and have since been transferred to hospital for specialised medical attention at Eldoret Hospital.
The accident occurred at the Murungi Area along the busy stretch at 4 am in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
According to police who arrived at the scene, the oil tanker was moving at a high speed which made the driver lose control resulting to the tanker hitting a tractor before ramming into an oncoming Probox.
The tragic incident claimed lives of five people in the Probox. Two others who sustained injuries jumped out of the vehicle.
Drivers of the oil tanker and the tractor escaped without any injuries.
