A tractor driver lost his life in an accident that happened in between Ndalani-Sofia area in Yatta sub-county Machakos county.
According to the Yatta OCPD Kipsang Chagach, the accident is said to have occurred on Tuesday afternoon after the truck lost control and left the main road into the sloppy rough road.
"The driver has been identified as Nzioka Ndunda and he was driving alone when the vehicle lost control and he was thrown outside where the truck ran over him killing him on the spot," said Kipsang Joshua Nzuki who witnessed the accident.
"The tractor operates here in Sofia and carries sand but it was empty at the time of the accident. It swayed from the road and went towards the fence and because there is a slope the old man was thrown out of the truck and ran over," he said.
Police have taken the body of the deceased to Median's hospital Mortuary as police launch investigation into the accident.
