Several people, including students who were heading back to school after half term break, are nursing critical injuries following a multiple-vehicle crash along the Eldoret-Nakuru Highway at Timboroa in Nakuru County.
According to witnesses, the accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon after a matatu heading to Nakuru lost control and rammed into an oncoming lorry which subsequently hit a personal car.
Following the accident, an emergency response team arrived at the scene and helped retrieve those trapped from the wreckage before rushing them to the hospital.
Videos and images of the scene showed a 14-seater matatu badly damaged with the truck leaning on one of its sides.
