The President of the Matatu Owners Association Albert Karakacha has mourned seven people who lost their lives Monday in a road accident.
Seven people lost their lives on Monday morning in two separate but related road accidents involving six motor vehicles and a motorcycle along the Narok-Mai Mahiu Road.
Police reports indicate that the 10 am accident occurred when a trailer, en route to Mai Mahiu from Narok, lost control after one of its tyres burst, ramming into a Toyota Premio, ENA Coach bus and a Narok-Line Matatu and causing them to veer off in different directions.
Three of the matatu's occupants died on the spot. Soon after a second speeding trailer, en route to Narok, arrived at the accident scene colliding head on with a Toyota Prado as it attempted to circumvent the scene. Two of the Prado's occupants died on the spot while another succumbed to injuries sustained at Narok County Referral Hospital.
The trailer likewise ran over a motorcycle, killing two pillion passengers instantly.
