Two people died on Tuesday following a road accident on the Muhoroni-Kisumu road.

One died on the spot and another succumbed while undergoing treatment at St Benedict's hospital in Muhoroni.

The accident occurred after a trailer ferrying sugarcane collided with a Molo line Nissan Matatu at 8 am.

The two vehicles rolled after the collision before the trailer caught fire.

He said the truck is suspected to have been on a free gear during the accident.
