Four family members perish in grisly road accident

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.

“We don’t know what to do because we already have another funeral where these teenagers were coming from,” he said.

The deceased included two brothers, their cousin and a neighbour.
