Several feared dead in Kisumu after lorry plunges off flyover

Several people are feared dead in Kisumu after a lorry plunged off the Kachok fly over and fell on a tuk tuk carrying passengers.

The lorry is still at the scene and yet to be moved.

Officers have already arrived at the scene.

Police had to lob teargas canisters to disperse residents who had arrived at the scene and some were trying to loot gumboots from the lorry.

Samuel Odera, a witness, said he was following the trailer the moment it plunged down from the overpass.

He said it appeared like the vehicle lost control before veering off the fly over.

Odera claimed the flyover has a sharp bend and low pavements which makes it hard for vehicles to negotiate the stretch of the road.
