The family members were traveling back to Nairobi from a religious ceremony held at Makindu Sikh Temple.
Tragedy has hit the Vohra family, which owns Sarova Hotels, after MS Vohra, his wife, daughter and daughter-in-law died in a road crash on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway in Makueni on Sunday.
Mukaa police boss Charles Muthui said Mr Saveer Vohra was driving the vehicle when the crash occurred.
Mr Muthui said Mr Saveer Vohra was first taken to Sultan Hamud County Hospital before he was flown to Nairobi for specialised treatment.
“Two people died on the spot and the other two were pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital,” Mr Muthui said.
The family was heading towards Nairobi in a Toyota Landcruiser when it veered off the road and landed in a ditch, according to Mr Muthui.
The bodies of the four relatives were moved to the Machakos County Referral Hospital mortuary while the wreckage of the vehicle was towed to Salama Police Station.
This is the latest tragedy to hit the Vohra family, which lost their son, JS Vohra, last year in a road crash.
JS Vohra, a racing enthusiast, died after his car rolled near Amboseli Lodge when he was en route to watch the East African Safari Classic Rally in November last year.
The family members were traveling back to Nairobi from a memorial service for JS Vohra at the Makindu Sikh Temple.
