One person died while four others are nursing serious injuries following head on collision between a trailer and lorry on the busy Nakuru-Eldoret Highway.
The accident occurred near the Twin area of Kuresoi south, an area locals have described as a blackspot on account of a recent spate of accidents.
Witnesses said the driver of the trailer appeared to lose control due to the ongoing heavy rains and smashed into an oncoming lorry on the opposite side as he descended a hill.
“I was one of the people who witnessed the accident, and I managed to help some people, several of whom had sustained injuries and fractures,” a witness told Inooro FM.
“We don’t know what needs to be done here because accidents here have been on the rise, we appeal to drivers drive slowly when descending this hill.”
Traffic police officers from Mausummit arrived at the scene of the accident shortly after, and cordinated the clearing the wreckages of the two vehicles.
The injured were rushed to Molo Subcounty hospital and Nakuru Level V hospital while the body of the deceased was moved to Molo Subcounty hospital mortuary.
