Three people died on the spot while scores were injured in a grisly road accident at Chimoi along the Bungoma–Eldoret highway on Saturday evening.
The accident involved a trailer ferrying logs and a 14-seater matatu that was travelling from Nairobi. Witnesses said the driver of the trailer lost control of the vehicle while attempting to overtake before it overturned and landed on the matatu.
Motorists and residents helped to rescue passengers who were trapped inside the matatu before emergency responders arrived.
Witnesses claimed that the driver of the trailer was speeding when the brakes failed as it approached the notorious Chimoi Bridge.
