Makueni County Commissioner Mohammed Maalim has confirmed that several people who were injured in a grisly road accident near Masimba market on Tuesday morning were rushed to various hospitals, including Makindu Hospital.
At least six people died in the accident that involved a matatu and a lorry along the busy Nairobi-Mombasa Highway in Kajiado County.
Most of the victims who perished were in the ill-fated matatu which was mangled into a shell on impact.
