Three JKUAT students died on the spot and two were critically injured when the vehicle they were travelling in was involved in an accident at Thika town flyover. Thika OCPD Paul Leting said the 4am accident occurred when the driver of the vehicle which appeared to have been speeding lost control, veered off the road and hit a tree. All the students were said to be in third year at the university. It is yet to be established were the students where headed to.

Letting said the two survivors were initially rushed to Thika District Hospital before they were later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital for specialised treatment. The police boss said two of those killed had been identified but the rest were not. He appealed to anyone who knows the victims or witnessed the accident to come forward and assist the police. “We are yet to identify the particulars of the other three victims, including one of the deceased, the owner of the fateful car Reg No. KBL 493S Toyota Fielder white in colour and its status,” the OCPD told the press in his office.

He urged drivers not to speed along the super highway. Letting told drivers not to seat behind the steering wheel if they had taken alcohol or were under substance/drug influence. Students, lecturers and the victims’ relatives jammed Thika police station to look at the car which was extensively damaged with some parts ripped off.
