The driver lost control, and the vehicle veered off the road, landing in a ditch. The injured passengers included officers from the Choroqo Border Patrol Unit camp and teachers from Choroqo Primary School, Qotqot Primary, and Guba Primary School. The teachers had hitched a ride with the police vehicle at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All injured parties were taken to Banisa Subcounty Hospital, where they are reported to be in stable condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate incident along the Elwak-Mandera Road, a collision between two motorcycles left three individuals injured. According to witnesses, one motorcycle, carrying a rider and two pillion passengers, was traveling from Wargadud to Elwak when the collision occurred. The other motorcyclist fled the scene, and police are actively searching for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tarbaj, Wajir, another accident involving a government vehicle occurred when a Landcruiser struck a pothole on the Tarbaj-Wajir road. The driver lost control, causing the vehicle to land in a ditch. Four people, including the driver, were seriously injured and were rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police are investigating all incidents. They have noted that recent heavy rains have left many local roads in poor condition, contributing to the accidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Veronicah Stellah On Thursday at approximately 4 p.m., a Toyota Landcruiser carrying five police officers and four<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",750,338,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2-300x135.jpg",300,135,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",640,288,false],"large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",640,288,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",750,338,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",750,338,false],"morenews-featured":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",750,338,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg",750,338,false],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-2-590x338.jpg",590,338,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Kambaland Times","author_link":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/author\/kituitimes\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/newsbeat\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Newsbeat<\/a>","tag_info":"Newsbeat","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1509"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1511,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509\/revisions\/1511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
