Two Dead After Lorry Crashes Into Parked Trucks in Kisii
A tragic road accident in Kisii Central Sub-county claimed two lives early on Sunday morning when a lorry lost control and slammed into several parked trucks at Tosha Petrol Station.
The incident happened around 4:30am along the busy Kisii-Keroka Road, leaving the victims with no chance of survival. Emergency teams and police quickly responded to the scene to manage the aftermath and begin investigations.

Local leaders and transport agencies often call for stricter enforcement of traffic rules and better vehicle maintenance to prevent such tragedies on major highways. Families of the deceased are receiving support as investigations proceed.
