One person has died while four others sustained injuries at a road accident in Machakos County.
The unidentified man died on the spot after two motorcycles collided at Kisukioni along Tala - Oldonyo Sabuk Road in Matungulu Sub County on Wednesday.
Confirming the incident, Kalandini chief Julius Mbai said the man who died was one of the motorcycles riders.
Mbai said the casualties were admitted at Kangundo Level Four Hospital while the deceased's body moved to the same hospital's mortuary.
He said police had launched investigations into the matter.
Mbai said the motorcycles were towed to Kangundo Police Station.
According to Mbai, most of the road carnage are caused by road users failure to abide by traffic rules and regulations.
He said boda boda operators should get to driving schools for training in a bid of reducing avoidable road accidents.
Mbai said motorcyclists should be wary of other road users while on the road, "Most of the boda boda operators in Matungulu have not gone to driving schools, they do not have driving licenses hence the increased accidents," said Mbai.
