A 14-seater matatu was involved in a traffic collision that claimed two lives on Friday morning in the Awasi region of Nairobi on the Kisumu-Nairobi route.

After being transported to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) for treatment following severe head injuries, the two adult males passed away there.

 

In addition, seven additional passengers are admitted and receiving care at the institution.

Tyre ruptured on one of the matatus, according to Allan Mwangi, the Regional Traffic Enforcement Officer (RTEO) for Nyanza.

The admitted passengers are receiving care at the same institution for head and chest injuries.

As the holiday season approaches, the traffic chief has asked drivers to be alert and follow the law.
