The diplomats were rushed to Machakos Level 5 Hospital for treatment.
Their driver Joseph Kariithi Ngutu sustained injuries but he is out of danger.
“We wish Zambian Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. Brenda Mudenda & diplomat Kama Wasa good recovery. They have been airlifted from Machakos for specialized treatment in Nairobi. We will be praying for you. I thank all my Machakos staff for the great & efficient response to this incident,” Mutua said.
Several leaders have sent the diplomats messages of goodwill after being involved in the accident.
