At least five people were killed on Tuesday night near Matuu on the Thika-Garissa road when the bus they were traveling in overturned.

The bus they were traveling in was not only overloaded but speeding away from a roadblock when it tipped over.

Yatta OCPD Edward Chagach says the bus was flagged down by the National Safety and Transport Authority officers but the driver sped 

away.

Meanwhile, those found to have committed traffic offenses on Christmas and Boxing Day will answer to the charges on Wednesday.
