Six people, including the driver of the public transport vehicle, were killed on Saturday morning in a crash on the Eldoret–Nakuru road, in the Kondoo area of Kenya. Uasin Gishu County Police Commander Wilberforce Sicharani confirmed the death toll, according to Citizen Digital.
The crash happened when a lorry hit the public transport vehicle travelling towards Nakuru as the heavy goods vehicle tried to avoid a Succeed vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
