Five die in Kimana road accident

Five people have died on the spot in a grisly road accident along the Emali-Oloitoktok highway early Tuesday morning.

The tragic road accident occurred after the vehicle they were traveling in lost control hitting an electricity pole killing instantly all the five occupants.

One of the witnesses says that he found the vehicle after the accident but thought they were thugs escaping the scene.

“I found the vehicle but I never thought it was an accident, I escaped thinking it they were robbers...” the witness said.

Oloitoktok OCPD Hurbert Khaemba says that he could not immediately establish the cause of the accident since they were no other vehicles on the road.

Area residents either say that the driver of the vehicle might have been drunk with Khaemba indicating that by judging the extend of damage the driver seems to have been over speeding. 

Investigations to the cause of the accident are underway with the body of the deceased taken to Oloitoktok Mortuary.
