Three people have been confirmed dead, and scores others injured in a grisly accident along the Kisumu-Kakamega Higway.
The Monday morning accident happened after a matatu headed to Kiboswa veered off the road and rolled near Coptic Church.
Confirming the incident, Kisumu OCPD Meshak Kiptum said that the remaining passengers were taken to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital for treatment.
The deceased, he said, are two male adults and a woman, as reported by Citizen Digital.
The OCPD further noted that the accident most likely resulted from a brake failure which caused the matatu to lose control, and veer off the road.
He has since labeled the area a black spot, calling upon drivers to take extra caution and slow down when approaching the area.
