Three people were killed when the matatu they were in rolled at Tiva Bridge on Kitui-Machakos highway on Monday.
Eleven others sustained injuries and were taken to Kitui Level 4 Hospital.
Kitui base commander Charles Nyaga said the accident occurred at around 10.30am.
“The driver tried to swerve to avoid hitting a cyclist coming from the opposite direction. He lost control of the vehicle and veered off the road. The matatu landed on its side.”
The conductor was among those who died.
