Six killed as matatu rolls Published on May 13, 2008, 12:00 am
Six people died in a road crash on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway after a matatu hit a cyclist and rolled several times.
Seven other passengers were injured and are fighting for their lives at the Naivasha District Hospital.
"Our vehicle was speeding. We heard a bang and then screeching brakes," said Pauline Njeri, a student at a Nakuru secondary school who was among the survivors.
The accident caused a major traffic jam on the highway, resulting in other minor accidents.
In one incident, a truck reversed into a Nairobi-bound matatu, but no one was injured.
