A Nation Media employee on Tuesday died after being involved in an accident along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.
Confirming the incident, Voi traffic commandant Silas Wanyonyi said the employee, a driver, died on the spot after the van he was driving collided head on with a lorry at Maunga.
The driver’s colleague sustained serious injuries and was taken to Moi County Referral Hospital.
“There were two occupants in the vehicle and one died on the spot. The driver was overtaking a vehicle in front when he collided head on with the oncoming lorry,” said Maunga, as quoted by the Nation.
In a separate incident, three people sustained serious injuries after the vehicle they were traveling in rammed into a Simba Coach bus heading to Mombasa at Mbuyuni.
The three were also taken to Moi County Referral Hospital.
