Preliminary reports indicate that the lorry lost control, veered off its lane, and collided head-on with the oncoming saloon car.
The impact of the crash was severe, leaving four people dead on the spot.
Several other victims sustained injuries and were rushed to nearby health facilities for treatment.
The bodies of the deceased have since been moved to the Narok County Referral Hospital mortuary, as authorities continue with investigations into the cause of the accident.
