Six people dead in a road accident in Subukia

 At least six people lost their lives in a road accident on Tuesday night in Subukia, Nakuru County. According to police reports, the accident involved a speeding cargo truck carrying timber.

The truck reportedly lost control and struck two people on a boda boda, killing them instantly. It then veered off the road, hitting several pedestrians, resulting in a total of six fatalities. The victims' bodies were transferred to a local mortuary pending autopsies.

Local residents have expressed concern over the rising number of accidents on the Nakuru-Nyahururu highway and are urging the government to conduct thorough investigations and take appropriate action.

In response, Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo announced increased traffic operations to curb reckless driving, overloading, and the use of unlicensed public service vehicles. He stated that additional traffic officers have been deployed to enhance road safety and ensure smooth traffic flow.
