A road crash involving a PSV matatu and a saloon car on Mombasa Road near Syokimau resulted in several potential fatalities on Thursday night. The collision took place between Quiver Mombasa Road and Katani, with the matatu traveling towards Nairobi and the saloon car heading in the opposite direction. Initial reports suggested up to eight people may have lost their lives, though the precise death toll had not been confirmed by authorities.
The impact of the accident caused both vehicles to overturn and crash into a ditch, leaving them severely damaged. The matatu sustained significant damage to its front, particularly the windscreen and driver's cabin, while the saloon car was found in a badly wrecked state within the ditch. Emergency services promptly arrived on the scene to assist those affected by the crash, but the number of casualties and the severity of injuries were yet to be determined.
The police are now conducting an investigation into the incident, aiming to ascertain the cause of the collision.
