Four people have died on the spot after being knocked down by a speeding vehicle along Kisumu-Kakamega road near Chavakali.
According to an eyewitness, the vehicle belonging to one of the Bus Companies plying the Nairobi route knocked down the four who were on a motorbike and sped off.
“I had a loud bang and when I arrived at the scene and found four bodies strewn across the road with a wrecked motorbike beside the road, but the vehicle had sped off,” one witness said.
The victims were reportedly coming from a funeral from Kakamega County when the incident occurred.
Rober Asava, the father of one of the victims, said it was a hit and run incident, saying the situation has complicated investigation into the incident.
The bodies were taken to Vihiga County Referral Hospital Mortuary.
