Seven people died, Saturday, following a grisly road accident in Migori town, after a lorry ferrying rice lost control along the Kisii-Migori-Isebania highway, before ramming into parked motorbikes and vehicles in the area.<\/p>\n
Migori County Commander, Mark Wanjala, confirmed that six adults and one minor aged seven were killed on the spot. The driver of the lorry was among the fatalities.<\/p>\n
Three other people are currently admitted at the Migori County Referral Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Wanjala said that the lorry which was in transit from Nairobi to Isebania ferrying rice, was at a high speed, when it lost control.<\/p>\n
The accident which occurred around 7.00am in the morning, saw destruction of more than 15 motorbikes that were packed along the road.<\/p>\n
A boda boda rider, Kevin Omondi, who witnessed the accident, said the driver of the lorry placed the vehicle on full lights and was hooting continuously to indicate a problem, even as he tried to control the vehicle, before the fatal accident occurred.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
