Five people died, and five others injured, after a vehicle they were travelling in lost control and smashed against guardrails at River Limondwe bridge on Ekero-Buyangu Road. The accident happened at 4am Tuesday.
Police say the ten, said to be relatives, boarded the vehicle, a Toyota Wish of registration plate KCD 286B, in Nairobi, and were headed to their Butula home in Busia for Christmas celebrations.

Mumias OCPD, Peter Kattam, told K24 Digital that a man, his wife and their children were among the five killed in the crash.
The injured were taken to St. Mary’s Mission Hospital in Mumias, whereas the deceased were moved to the facility’s mortuary.
Kattam says investigations into the accident have commenced, though he suspects the vehicle’s driver was unfamiliar with the road, or was fatigued, when the crash occurred.
