Three people died after a cargo trailer overturned on Tuesday night from the Kachok flyover at the Kondele junction, in Kisumu.

According to eyewitnesses, the driver lost control of the truck as he tried to turn on a sharp corner which caused the cargo trailer to roll over.

Nyanza Regional traffic commander Joseph Nganga confirmed 3 casualties were pronounced dead on the spot as the load of the trailer collapsed on a tuk-tuk that was parked on the roadside.

Among the casualties were the truck driver, the tuk-tuk operator and a woman who was seated on the passenger side of the tuk-tuk.

The incident gathered onlookers who tried to salvage of what was left of the accident.

Locals decried poor road design, claiming many truck drivers have had difficulties in manoeuvring the tough turn while carrying heavy loads.

“We urge the Kisumu County government to look into the issue and install road signs to caution the drivers of impending danger or divert the cargo trailer onto another road. Accidents are becoming a norm in the area and we fear for our lives,” one resident told Citizen Digital.
