A two year old child is among three pedestrians who died, Thursday, following an accident along the Northern Corridor Highway at the Mayanja Kibuke area, Bungoma.
According to eye witnesses, the accident occurred when a lorry bumped head-on with a Bungoma town-bound Nissan matatu.
"The three, a woman with her two-year-old baby and another lady were walking along the road when the accident occurred. The Lorry then fell into a ditch after the impact crashing the three to death," said one of the witnesses.
Another witness said the baby and her mother died on the spot while the third victim lost her life while being rushed to the hospital.
''We rushed and found the transit goods lorry had knocked the town service Nissan and had fallen in a ditch and a woman with a child on her back dead on the spot,'' said Alice Wawire, an eyewitness.
No passenger from the matatu and the lorry was killed with the injured being rushed to Bungoma Referral Hospital for treatment.
