Truck Ploughs Into Roadside Vendors at Daraja Mbili Market in Kisii
Several people are feared dead and dozens injured following a tragic road accident on Wednesday morning at Daraja Mbili in Kisii County.
The incident involved a trailer truck that reportedly lost its brakes while descending from Kisii town, crashing into multiple vehicles and pedestrians at the busy market centre.
According to the Motorists Association, the trailer was headed downhill when the driver appeared to lose control. Eyewitnesses said the vehicle was speeding as it approached the market, sparking panic among traders and commuters.
In a desperate attempt to stop the truck, the driver swerved through the congested road but ended up crashing into a tuk-tuk, a Probox, several motorcycles (boda bodas), and roadside stalls.
Women selling vegetables at the busy roadside market were among those caught in the chaos.
The scene quickly turned into a rescue operation as passersby and first responders worked to pull the injured from the wreckage.
Police officers and medics from Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital arrived shortly after to provide emergency assistance.
