Two Police Officers Killed in Head-On Collision in Kenya A tragic head-on collision between a police car and a trailer claimed the lives of two police officers on the Webuye-Bungoma highway in Kenya's Matulo area on June 4, 2025. The accident occurred around 7 AM. The impact of the crash was severe, as shown in the video footage. The trailer driver was injured and taken to a hospital. "The police car and the trailer collided head-on," stated Rogers Bosire, the police commander for Bungoma South, in an interview at the scene. "Unfortunately, we have lost two lives." The video shows the wreckage of both vehicles and the presence of emergency services. Eyewitnesses reported that the police car was attempting to overtake another vehicle when the collision occurred. One eyewitness, whose name was withheld, stated, "The police car was going at high speed. The driver couldn't avoid the collision." This account underscores the need for caution on this stretch of highway. The incident has prompted calls from residents for improved road safety measures in the Matulo area.
