Ugandan envoy to Kenya Phoebe Otaala was on Wednesday involved in a grisly road accident along the Malaba-Bungoma road.
The envoy was travelling back to Kenya after a short stint in Uganda.
At the time of the accident, four people were in the vehicle.
Bungoma County Commissioner Stephen Kihara said that the diplomat is in stable condition.
“I can confirm that the diplomat has been rushed to hospital, we are still gathering details from her driver on what might have caused the accident,” Mr Kihara told the Nation.
According to eye witnesses, the driver of the vehicle lost control after a tyre burst, before it rolled several times in the busy highway.
“The vehicle was heading to Bungoma from Malaba at the time of the incident. One of its tyres burst before it rolled on the road. All the three occupants have been taken to hospital,” said an eye witness.
Currently, she is hospitalized at a Bungoma hospital, together with the other passengers who were in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
