A plane which was believed to be carrying sixteen passengers, crush landed today in the lodwar air strip. According to the Kenya air ports authority workers attached to the strip, the plane's rare right wheel hit the ground before the run way, making it loose its stability.
The officer commanding Lodwar police division Mr. Mwaura Wa Njoroge, confirmed the incident and said that the investigations are on, to determine the cause of the accident.
The blue bird type plane registration 5Y-VVM, crush landed at around 8.00am, but all the passengers came out with no injuries though some were ferried to Lodwar district hospital for check up. The incident paralyzed the normal duties in the air strip for some hours, since it had blocked the runway in a distance of 300m.
Our efforts to talk to pilots of the plane didn't go through, since they were afraid to talk to the media.
