Four people died on Saturday morning (October 31) in a road accident at Kahoya area in Timboroa, Baringo County.
The 6am crash involved a Toyota Prado and a Toyota Probox, which were heading the same direction -- from Eldoret towards Nakuru.
Eye witnesses told K24 Digital that the driver of the Toyota Prado had attempted to overtake other vehicles, and upon seeing lorries approaching from the opposite direction, he veered onto his lane, and, in the process, rammed against the Toyota Probox.

The lorries, which were approaching from the opposite direction, were damaged slightly, whereas the Probox and the Prado had extensive damages.
Bodies of the four Probox occupants were taken to Eldama Ravine Sub-County Hospital morgue by police at 8am.
Eldama Ravine OCPD Maxwell Agoro confirmed the incident to K24 Digital, saying the deceased are yet to be identified.
