The injured were admitted to the Meru and Kiirua Hospitals while the bodies were moved to Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary.
Mr Ndung’u stated that investigations were underway and appealed to the motorists to avoid speeding and adhere to traffic rules.
Last month four people were killed and four others seriously injured after the vehicle they were travelling in veered off the road and rolled in Samburu County.
The driver is reported to have lost control of the car which led to the vehicle rolling near South Horr town.
The four other survivors sustained serious injuries and were taken to Samburu County Referral Hosptial before being transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital.
