Four people killed after bus rams tuktuk on Thika-Garissa road

Four people were killed following a collision between a bus and a tuktuk at the Makongeni area on the Thika - Garissa road.

The crash occurred on Thursday afternoon when the speeding bus rammed the tuktuk, killing its driver and three passengers instantly.

Eyewitnesses described the scene as harrowing, with the wreckage of the tuktuk scattered across the road.

The bodies of the deceased were transported to General Kago Funeral Home, where they await identification and post-mortem examinations.

Local residents have since expressed deep concern over the increasing number of accidents on that particular stretch of road.

They attribute the rise in accidents to speeding vehicles and are calling for immediate government intervention.

"We need speed bumps installed urgently to slow down traffic and prevent further tragedies," said Samson Njau, a resident of Makongeni.

The call for speed bumps and increased road safety awareness resonates strongly among the residents, who hope that decisive action will be taken soon.
