KERICHO, Kenya – Four people lost their lives on Friday in a tragic accident along the Kericho-Awasi road near Pala. The crash involved a private Nissan Vanette that veered off the road and landed in a ditch, according to police reports.

Emergency responders arrived swiftly at the scene, moving the bodies to the Ortho mortuary and towing the vehicle to a nearby police station for further investigation.
