Transport was paralysed on Saturday morning along the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway near the Dalamere shop after a trailer and a truck got involved in an accident.

According to reports, the accident occurred around 7am after the truck heading towards Nakuru lost control and rammed into the oncoming trailer.

Images shared online showed the trailer damaged on its front with a broken windscreen and side mirrors, while the truck was severely damaged on its side with deflated tyres.

The footage further depicted a team of rescuers believed to be area residents attempting to retrieve those trapped under the wreckage as others watched the unfolding from a distance.
