\u201cAmong the casualties, we have admitted 6 of them in our Kericho County Referral Hospital and Londiani Sub County Hospital, while one is in critical condition at Kericho County Referral Hospital\u2019s Intensive Care Unit,\u201d Mutai said. Thirty-seven bodies out of the 52 people who perished in the Londiani Junction Market road crash were as of Sunday identified.<\/p>\n

Londiani Sub-County Hospital Medical Superintendent, Collins Kipkoech said 18 bodies have been picked by relatives for burial arrangements at their respective homes even as tracing and identification continue in different hospitals that handled the casualties.<\/p>\n

He said 49 people who died are at the Londiani Hospital, two at the Kericho County Referral Hospital and another one died at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital in Nakuru.
