Makindu traffic police base commander James Rasungu said it was caused by a tyre burst. The matatu driver lost control, hitting an oncoming lorry. Both vehicles rolled in the 7.30am accident.

The 7.30am smash left some of the passengers trapped in the matatu that plies the Nairobi-Kibwezi route.

The injured were rescued and taken to Kibwezi Sub-County Hospital, some in critical conditions.

The matatu was heading towards Kibwezi when the crash happened.
