One person died after the vehicle he was travelling in rolled multiple times along Meru-Chuka Road in Tharaka Nithi County near Nithi Bridge.
The said the driver was heading to Chuka at the time when he lost control, said an eyewitness.
‘I was on my way to Chuka when I narrowly avoided colliding with it. At the same time, I noticed another vehicle behind me avoiding a collision with it. As passengers were thrown out of the car, it rolled several times,” said an eyewitness.
“I parked my motorcycle and returned to the scene, where I encountered people who were bleeding. Those who were able to speak with me asked for my phone so they could contact their families,” said an eyewitness.
He said that when every vehicle he stopped took off, he decided to block traffic.
“A good samaritan assisted me in pulling out the passengers who had been left inside the vehicle,” he said.
He said one person was pronounced dead at the scene.
