According to Kitui County Police Commander Leah Kithei, the six students were walking to school from their homes when a Toyota Probox car coming from Kibwezi veered off the road and hit them.
Ms Kithei said the driver of the Probox - a primary school teacher tried to escape by fleeing the scene but he was apprehended by police and placed in custody at Mutomo Police Station.
Elizabeth Makau, a resident of Kyoani in Kitui South, had a routine early morning task of preparing her children to send them to school.
As usual, she was out of bed by 4:30am on Friday. She woke up her two daughters Susan Mueni and Brigitte Vaati, and prepared their breakfast as the two were taking a bath.
