The victims were travelling in a lorry from Nomotio to Ng'ari area, about ten kilometers away for a political rally when the accident occurred. "The driver was speeding and when we approached a sharp corner, the vehicle veered off the road and fell in a ditch," he said. "People were busy in their farms, they had to abandon what they were doing after a lorry approached abruptly asking them to attend a political rally," he said. Lesila said most victims of the accident victims are poor and don't have NHIF cards urging his village mates to shun following politicians for handouts.
