Four family members died on the spot when the motorbike they were traveling on was hit by a runaway car.
The tragedy occurred in the early hours of Friday along Kisumu-Kakamega road. The four were from another funeral in Shinyalu.
They were on their way to their home in Hamuyundi in Sabatia Constituency.
“I heard a loud bang and when I rushed to the scene, I found the four lying dead and there was no vehicle in sight,” Wycliffe Omega, a witness said.
The father to one of the deceased, Robert Asava, said it was a big blow to the family since they had another funeral at Shinyalu where an uncle to the victims had died.
