The driver of the second car and another passenger succumbed to injuries while being transported to Hospital.
Faulting one of the drivers of reckless driving, Napeiyan urged motorists to follow safety guidelines on the roads.
“This accident occurred because of human error; it was not as a result of any mechanical error or weather or road conditions. It was a human being’s fault,” said Napeiyan.
The bodies of the deceased were moved to Kilome Nursing Home mortuary.
The incident comes a month after another accident along the same highway claimed the lives of six people.
The fatal crash, that involved a matatu, personal cars, and a truck, happened at Makobeni area on the Rabai-Kaloleni road in Kilifi County.
