Five people died and three others were injured in a road accident along the Webuye–Malaba highway at Makotelo, near Mabanga, on Wednesday.

A witness said the accident occurred after the driver of a trailer that was headed to Webuye town collided with an oncoming matatu.

The ill-fated matatu rolled several times after being pushed into a nearby maize plantation. Five bodies were pulled out of the wreckage.

Residents led by Mwihogo Joshi, said the accident occurred at around 12 am, on June 10, 2026.
