One dead, two injured in Njoro road accident

One person has died and two others seriously injured in a road accident along the Njoro-Mau Narok road on Wednesday.

According to Njoro Sub-County Police Commander Mohammed Huka, the accident occurred after a vehicle rammed into a boda boda at Mauche trading center.

"The boda boda rider was hit from behind by a matatu that was heading in the same direction. One of the rider’s passenger died on the spot, while the rider and his second passenger were left in critical condition," said Huka.

The police boss said the two have been rushed to the Nakuru Level Five Hospital for treatment.

Huka warned matatu drivers against careless driving urging them to be extra cautious, while at the same time warning boda boda operators to stop carrying more than one passenger.

"The matatu has been impounded at Njoro Police station where we are also holding the driver pending investigations," he said.

The Wednesday accident came barely two days after yet another passenger was killed in a hit and run at Methonge along the same route.
