At least six people were killed in a grisly road accident involving three vehicles along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway in Koriomat area, Uasin Gishu county.
Reports indicate that the accident occurred at around midnight on Saturday, October 31, 2026, involving a Mercedes-Benz Actros truck, a Toyota Hiace matatu belonging to North Rift Sacco and a Toyota Succeed.
According to police reports, the truck was travelling from Nakuru towards Eldoret when its driver reportedly swerved to the right while attempting to avoid another vehicle ahead of him.
The truck subsequently rammed a Toyota Succeed before crashing into a matatu belonging to North Rift Sacco, which was carrying 10 passengers.
The impact sent the matatu and the Toyota Succeed into a ditch on the right side of the highway.
The matatu driver and five female passengers died on the spot.
An unspecified number of other passengers sustained injuries and were rushed to different hospitals within Uasin Gishu County for treatment.
The bodies of the six victims were moved to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) mortuary pending postmortem examinations.
