Six passengers have been reported dead in the ghastly Kwa Majini Bridge accident along the Thika-Garissa Highway.

8 others have been seriously injured and were rushed to Matuu Level 4 hospital. This was confirmed by Machakos Police boss Issa Mohamed.

The accident involved a 14-seater matatu that collided with another vehicle and burst into flames.

Reports indicate that the matatu was carrying a gas cylinder before it collided and went up in flames. This is under investigation.
