Road accidents in the region have been rampant in the recent past.
In Kenya, two pillion passengers perished a few days back after the motorcycle they had boarded crashed with a tuk-tuk in Kirinyaga.
The incident occurred on Monday, April 15, when a boda boda rider travelling from Samson Corner to Kutus collided with a tuk-tuk on a bustling highway.
The rider was transporting two passengers, a man and a woman, when the collision occurred.
Gichugu Sub-county Police Commander Johnson Wachira confirmed the unfortunate event, stating that the tuk-tuk's tyre burst, causing a collision with the motorcycle before it swerved off the road.
Regrettably, the boda boda operator lost his life instantly, while one of his passengers, a woman, succumbed to the severe injuries she sustained.
The other passenger was rushed to the hospital in critical condition; the tuk-tuk driver and his passenger were ferried to Kerugoya Hospital for medical attention.
