Five people among them two women and two children died in a road accident at Kangutu area along Isiolo-Moyale highway.

The five and 12 others receiving treatment at Isiolo Referral Hospital, were knocked down by a speeding trailer ferrying milk towards Moyale side.

The lorry knocked down several shops and nearby church’s perimeter wall destroying items worth unknown value.

It is suspected other people could be trapped in the wreckage of the vehicle.
