Kenya: 5 People Killed in Gilgil Road Accident

{{Reports from Kenya indicate that Five people died in a road accident that occurred in Gilgil on Saturday after a bus they were traveling in lost control and rolled several times.}}

Traffic commandant Samuel Kimaru told Capital FM news that the bus that was ferrying passengers from Nairobi to Siaya overturned after the driver hit a culvert.

Those killed include a man and three women who died on the spot in the 1 am incident—according to police.

“The bus veered off the road as the driver attempted to avoid hitting an oncoming trailer,” Kimaru said “it is apparent the bus was on a high speed at the time of the accident.”

Forty five other passengers were injured in the accident and taken to the Gilgil District Hospital where some were still admitted.
