Malindi, Kenya – A light aircraft met a tragic end in the Kwa Chocha area along the Malindi-Mombasa highway on Friday afternoon, January 10, 2025. The plane, engulfed in flames upon impact, reportedly landed on several motorcycles, leading to the confirmed deaths of at least three to five individuals.
Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos as the aircraft descended rapidly, crashing into the busy highway area.
