At least four people died, while several others injured in a road accident at Ololunga along Narok-Kaplong Highway on Tuesday afternoon.
Among those died include two highschool students.
According to eyewitnesses, the matatu ferrying students was heading towards Narok when it collided with an oncoming 14-seater matatu.
Reports indicate that the matatu was ferrying more than twelve students who were heading home after their school reportedly closed for holiday.
Residents near the accident scene and other motorists rushed to rescue victims in the two vehicles before the police officers arrived to assess the situation.
Emergency service providers rushed the survivors to nearby health facilities for urgent treatment. The bodies of the deceased were moved to a nearby morgue for preservation pending identification.
Area Police Commander Ronald Kirui said investigations into the incident are ongoing.
The incident comes few months after Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen directed that matatus and buses that are unroadworthy be removed from the roads more especially when the schools are closing and children are traveling home.
