Twelve people have died after being involved in a nasty road crash in the Nithi Bridge area, Tharaka Nithi County.

The county police boss said the tragic crash involved two vehicles headed to Nairobi and Meru.
Ng’eno said the driver behind the Nairobi-bound vehicle was not conversant with the road and thus swerved off its lane to collide with the oncoming car headed to Meru.
“Preliminary investigations show that the motor vehicle coming from the Meru had not regularly used this road. We may assume that the driver did not take to his lane as expected hence the head-on collision,” said Ng’eno.
The two survivors who cheated death with injuries of varied degrees were rushed to hospitals in Chogoria and Chuka.
