Grief as eight students perish in a car accident

Death is among us and it is calling some of us by name. It is taking our loved ones, friends and even acquaintances and this time, it went to our sisters in Nairobi.

As the night fell on Friday night, eight friends decided to jump into a car and go to Nairobi, little did they know that that would be their last road trip. Their destination was believed to be Nairobi but little is known where they were coming from. They were all female with a male driver who also perished.

The accident involved three vehicles where the seven-seater car in which the girls were travelling in was trying to overtake a mini-truck when it collided with an oncoming saloon car that was heading towards Kisii town.

He says the truck also smashed the rear of the seven-seater completely destroying it. All the occupants in the seven-seater perished except one girl.

Two other people, one from the mini-truck and one from the saloon car also died while undergoing treatment at the Kisii Hospital.
