2025 - A devastating road accident on the morning of Sunday, September 28th,
has left at least 13 people dead after a 14-seater public service vehicle (PSV)
collided with a trailer along the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
The crash occurred near the Kariandusi area, close to
Gilgil.
Dashcam footage from the scene captured the exact moment the
PSV attempted a reckless overtaking maneuver at a blind spot, leading to a
head-on collision with an oncoming trailer.
The impact was severe, causing both vehicles to veer off the
road.
The trailer ended up lying on its side in a ditch, while the
PSV was left mangled on the roadside.
Local residents rushed to assist survivors, offering first
aid as emergency services were alerted.
Debris, including vehicle parts and personal belongings, was
scattered across the highway.
The accident triggered a major traffic snarl-up stretching
back to the Kikopey area, as police worked to clear the wreckage and restore
order.
Authorities are investigating the incident and urging drivers to exercise caution, especially along high-risk stretches of the highway.
