Fourteen passengers have lost their lives and 12 others left seriously injured in a fatal road accident along the Lowdwar- Kakuma road, Kakwamunyen area.

The accident occurred after the lorry they were travelling in lost control and swerved off the road crashing into a culvert.

According to the National Police Service (NPS), the Saturday night incident is believed to have occurred when the 33-year-old driver of the Isuzu lorry came across a camel crossing the road and was forced to swerve off the road to avoid running over the animal.

The lorry, which headed towards Kakuma, is said to have lost control and overturned landing into the culvert and claiming the lives of 14 passengers.
