Five people were on Friday morning killed in a tragic road accident at Sigalagala trading center on the Kakamega-Kisumu road.

The five were riding on a boda-boda when it collided head-on with an oncoming probox

Confirming the report, area traffic commandant Geoffrey Njogu divulged that the motorcycle was speeding before it veered off the road and collided with the oncoming vehicle.

Njogu noted that the bodaboda rider was carrying four passengers who were thrown into different directions upon impact.

“If you are carrying four passengers on a motorcycle, that makes it very difficult to navigate and control the bike. This could have contributed to the collision,” he was quoted by the Nation.

The driver of the probox sustained injuries and was rushed St Elizabeth Mission Hospital in Mukumu.
