A deputy base commander in Narok died Monday morning in a head-on collision after his saloon car rammed an oncoming lorry along the Narok-Bomet road.
Commander Calvins Ochieng Onganda, according to a police report, was driving from Bomet when he attempted to overtake a lorry only to collide with an oncoming one.
“As a result of the impact, both vehicles landed on the right side of the road as one faces Bomet direction,” read the statement in part.
Onganda is said to have sustained serious injuries on both his legs and chest and died on the spot.
His body has been taken to Longisa County Referral Hospital pending autopsy.
The cars were also towed to Ololulunga Police Station for inspection.
