Barely 36 hours earlier, 17 people died in an accident involving multiple vehicles at Salama along the Mombasa- Nairobi highway.

A fatal road accident has occurred around Mau Summit along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway, causing a huge traffic jam along the highway.

The incident happened a few minutes after 8:00 am on Sunday, 4 October, and involved three vehicles.

Witnesses at the scene said a pickup driver hit a small private car from behind before losing control and crashing into a lorry parked by the side of the road.

The witnesses alleged that the pickup was speeding, with some claiming that the driver may have been under the influence of alcohol. However, the circumstances surrounding the crash had not been independently established.

Footage seen by this publication shows the damaged wreckage of the pick-up and the small car with goods, which were carried in the pick-up, spreading across the road.
