According to witnesses, the lorry lost its brakes before ramming into the two vehicles. The occupants of the Toyota Probox, one identified as a pastor and a female passenger escaped with injuries during the accident. Lorries are a common feature along the road as they are the only means of transport between Kina in Isiolo and Masua in Meru. The lorries usually visit Maua on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays where they sell their goats and later on buy food and other materials for sale. After the driver of the lorry lost control of the vehicle, it veered off the road and later rolled several times, witnesses said.
