Nine people have been reported dead and several others injured in an accident involving a matatu and a lorry at Kimende on Nairobi-Nakuru highway, witnesses have said.
Mainstream media houses have given contradicting numbers with some indicating nine while others 12 people in what appeared to be the grisly accident that resulted in the two vehicles rolling down the cliff due to impact.
The injured are receiving treatment at the Kijabe Mission hospital with a number expected to be transferred to Nairobi soon.

Your Comment Here …sorry to all victims.may God rest their souls
My condolences goes to those who succumbed in a fatal road accident. NTSA shall scrutinize the matter before things grow out of our hands.
It is quite ironical that the DCJ is facing corruption charges.If the judiciary, an independent body is facing such an outrage, will it be easy for Kenya to end corruption?
