14 People are recuperating at Vihiga Referral Hospital after the Vehicle they were travelling in was involved in a grisly road accident on Kakamega Kisumu road at Lunyerere in Vihiga.
According to eye witnesses the 14 seater matatu Nissan they were travelling in veered off the road and landed in a ditch.
“The driver was over-speeding when he lost control of the vehicle and landed in a ditch.” Said one of the eye witnesses.
The families of those involved in the accident were barred by the management of the Hospital from accessing their family members.
“I don’t see why the management is acting these way, there must be something they are hiding” said David Agide.
The facility has been on the spot in recent past for offering poor services, lack of medicines and medical staff.
Most of the accident victims were ferried to the facility by police vehicles; three ambulances that were bought early last year by the County Government are grounded.
Rumors have it that patients at the Hospital are attended to by interns due to luck of enough medical personnel at the facility.
