vehicles, according to area Traffic Base Commander Moses Nderitu.
Three other people who were in the vehicle were injured and were taken to Molo Sub-County Hospital.
The
driver of the vehicle had earlier been waved down by National Transport
and Safety Authority (NTSA) officials but did not stop.
“The driver declined to stop at an NTSA roadblock at Total area along the highway,” said Mr Nderitu.
