6 Dead in Accident Along Dundori-Olkalou Road

Six people have been confirmed dead while several others were injured in Dundori, Nakuru County.

This was after a matatu and a truck collided near the Kenya Forestry services offices at Dundori forest.

It is reported that the matatu was ferrying passengers from Dundori and was headed to Nakuru town when the accident happened.

Seven passengers who survived the incident were rushed to the nearest health centres nursing fatal injuries.

The matatu is registered to 3N TO Sacco.

The Dundori-Olkalou road has been known to be notorious for fatal accidents with several lives previously being lost along the highway.

Fatalities resulting from road accidents have been a major point of concern for Kenya with thousands perishing while travelling.

Recently members of the same family succumbed after their saloon car collided with a lorry along the Nakuru-Kericho highway.

The family was headed to Nakuru to take their children to school when they met their fate at the Chepseon blackspot section.

The Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet confirmed that in 2018 alone, 3,156 people perished due to road carnage in 2018.
