Three injured in Maralal accident

Three people including a mother and her child are nursing serious injuries at two different hospitals after they were involved in an accident in Kisima as they headed for Maralal town.

The three are admitted at Maralal Hospital while the driver was transferred to Nairobi after the Land Cruiser they were travelling in rolled several times.

Witnesses say the accident occurred at 7pm.

"We heard a loud, strange noise and rushed out to discover that a vehicle had rolled. We moved quickly to rescue the trapped passengers who were seriously injured," said John Maina, a resident.

Samburu Police Commandant Patrick Wambane confirmed the incident and urged motorists to drive safely.
