One person died while 12 were injured in a road accident in Narok county on Tuesday morning.
The accident occurred near Katakala trading centre on Narok-Bomet road, about 10 kilometres from Narok town.
The group had been on their way from Narok town, to a funeral service in Bomet, in a vehicle hired from Sokoro Wabera Investments.
Narok Police Commander Thomas Ngeiywa said the accident took place at about 9 am when one of the vehicle’s rear tyres burst, causing the driver to lose control.
“The vehicle rolled several times before it veered off the road for a few metres,” he said.
A witness added: “The vehicle flew before overturning and hitting a edge on the road reserve.”
Nine people, including the driver of the vehicle the group was in, suffered minor injuries while three were seriously wounded.
They were taken to Narok County Referral Hospital where sources said they suffered limb and head injuries but were stable.
