A boda boda rider was killed and his two passengers injured in an accident involving a lorry in Rongo town on Sunday evening.

The rider died at the scene of the accident on Rongo-Homa-Bay road near Graca Hotel.

Rongo OCPD Jonathan Muganda said the motorcycle and the lorry were headed in the same direction when they collided at about 9pm.

“The rider lost control," he said and urged caution, noting two people died at the same spot two days ago when a boda boda rammed into a lorry.
