Three people died on the spot and scores injured in Naivasha following an accident involving a trailer and a matatu.
The Tuesday evening accident happened near Delamere farm in Naivasha.
The accident occurred after a trailer that was heading to Nairobi hit a pedestrian, lost control and rammed into a matatu.
The matatu driver and a passenger died on the spot.
According to a witness John Wachira, the pedestrian who was knocked down was mentally unstable and was the main cause of the accident.
“The pedestrian died on the spot after he was run over by the trailer which later hit an incoming matatu killing the two passengers,” he said.
At the scene, personal effects soaked in blood and fuel were littered all over as police moved in to collect them and control the surging crowd and traffic.
Speaking on phone, Naivasha OCPD Samuel Waweru confirmed the accident.
“We have lost three people following the late evening accident near KARI farm and the injured have been admitted at Naivasha sub-county hospital,” he said.
