The accident occurred near High Peak School along the busy highway, leaving their vehicle severely mangled.
According to reports, the seven were travelling from a memorial service when the incident that cut short their lives occurred.
Bodies of the seven family members have been taken to Naivasha Mortuary.
The accident comes hours after another incident claimed the lives of two brothers near the same area.
The siblings, David Mwangi and Paul Mwangi, lost their lives when the vehicle they were traveling in was involved in a three-car collision at Gilgil along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
David, the firstborn in the family, and Paul, the lastborn, were traveling together when their journey was abruptly cut short.
The brothers were heading to Naivasha when the fatal accident occurred.
David, Paul, and two farm workers were traveling in a Toyota Prado, now reduced to a wreck.
Reports indicate that a trailer driver attempting to overtake other vehicles collided head-on with their vehicle. One of the trailer’s containers fell onto the Prado, killing the two brothers instantly.
The two farm workers survived with injuries.
The bodies of the deceased have been moved from Gilgil to Nakuru as the grieving family begins preparations for their funerals.
