Following a collision between a motorbike and probox at Ndaragu crossroads in Juja, Kiambu County, on Tuesday, two pillion passengers perished and a motorcyclist suffered grave injuries.

According to the police, the probox, which is thought to have been speeding, was traveling from Thika to Nairobi when it crashed head-on with the motorcycle traveling in the opposite direction.

Eyewitnesses claim that when the motorcycle rider attempted to pass another automobile, he appeared to have underestimated both the space between his motorcycle and the probox as well as the speed of the moving vehicle.
