The matatu belongs to Wembe Company, sources said.It was headed from Mtito-Andei to Nairobi but it changed route on arriving at Emali town due to a snarl-up on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway.

The traffic jam was caused by a container that closed the highway at Malili following an accident caused by the heavy downpour that reduced visibility.
