Eldoret accident
The Nakuru accident came just days after one woman had died, while several others had sustained critical injuries in a road accident that occurred on the evening of Wednesday, 10 December 2025, at Moi’s Bridge town along the busy Kitale-Eldoret Highway.
The accident involved a tipper, a public service vehicle, several other vehicles and a donkey-drawn cart.
According to an eyewitness, Edwin Kimutai, who was the co-driver of the tipper, their lorry developed a mechanical problem and rammed into the matatu, killing one woman and inflicting serious injuries on a number of passengers.
In an interview with K24 Digital, Kimutai said they tried to alert other road users to the danger by hooting continuously, but no one reacted.
“We had just left Matunda with some building blocks, and when we arrived near the Shell petrol station, our tipper’s pressure pipe was damaged and disconnected from the gear.”
“The driver tried to engage the gears but could not control the lorry. We hooted, but other vehicles ignored the signal and only realised the danger when we hit the first vehicle,” Kimutai said.
