  The truck hit the small vehicle by the side before the driver lost control.   The small vehicle swerved into a ditch leaving an infant with serious injuries while the other occupants escaped with minor injuries.   Witness Erick Odhiambo said the lorry later hit a saloon car which was coming from the opposite direction , killing the four family members on the spot.   "The lorry came and as it was trying to overtake the small vehicle it hit it. After that all we heard was a big bang. We ran to see what had happened and saw a saloon car crushed and all its occupants dead," Odhiambo said.   The four - a man, woman and two elderly women were said to have been coming from a ceremony before meeting their death.
