One person has been killed following a road accident involving three trailers at Jett Inn area on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.
According to Nzaui Sub-County Traffic Commander Nderitu Gitonga, two trucks coming from Mombasa direction failed to maintain a lane when a head-on collision occurred with another truck headed towards Nairobi. "A truck overtook dangerously, where a head-on collision happened.
They were on high speed, and the impact of the accident left the two trucks firmly stuck together, which made it hard to remove their wreckages," said Gitonga.
Adding that, "This particular truck from Nairobi had another behind it that also hit it from the rear section, also getting stuck." A fourth truck is also reported to have been involved in the accident that left one person dead and others seriously injured. "We are still trying to see if there might be more casualties in the vehicles that are badly damaged and have blocked the busy highway.
