Five people died on Tuesday following two separate accidents that occurred in Nyamira.
In the first accident, four people died as a Nissan matatu belonging to the Manga MTN Sacco burst a front tire before veering off the road and hitting a tree.
The accident occurred at Nyaikuro.
In another accident that happened in Masosa, a bodaboda rider was hit by a lorry killing him on the spot.
Nyamira South OCPD Rico Ngare attributed the second accident to recklessness since the rider was hit head on.
"It is sad that we have lost five people in two accidents in a day. I urge all the road users to observe traffic rules to reduce these accidents," said Ngare as he spoke to the press in his office.
All the bodies were taken to the Nyamira Level Four Hospital.
