Confirming the incident, area OCPD Fred Ombaka said the accident involved a tour van and an oncoming trailer along the Mombasa-Nairobi highway.
Area police boss Fred Ombaka said preliminary investigations showed the 1pm accident happened as the trailer driver was avoiding hitting a cow crossing the busy Mombasa-Nairobi highway.
“The trailer driver was heading to Nairobi when he probably lost control. The vehicle then overturned with its container and it fell on the tour van, crashing it. As a result of the impact, the driver and passengers died on the spot,” he told the Nation.
