Four people have been confirmed dead following a tragic road accident in the early hours of Saturday morning in Ruiru, Kiambu County.

The incident occurred at around 3:40 am near Membley in Ruiru when a private vehicle rammed into a stationary trailer.

All four occupants of the car died on the spot due to the force of the impact.
