The deceased, all men, were travelling in the smaller vehicle when it collided head-on with a bus near the Soysambu stretch of the busy highway.

According to police, preliminary investigations indicate that the driver of the saloon car was attempting to overtake when the vehicle rammed into an oncoming bus belonging to Promise Company, which was en route to Nakuru.

The men were reportedly travelling from Kisumu, where they had attended a burial ceremony, and were heading back to Nairobi at the time of the accident.

The impact of the collision killed all six occupants of the saloon car on the spot. Their bodies were taken to the Gilgil Sub-County Hospital Mortuary awaiting identification by family members.
