6 Injured In A Multiple Car Crash Along Nairobi-Nakuru highway, No Fatalities
At least six individuals have been injured in numerous car crashes on the busy Nairobi-Nakuru Highway. The highway has been temporarily closed due to the accident.
The tragedy occurred early Thursday morning in Kiambu County’s Muguga region. According to images posted online, the crash included at least seven automobiles.
Witnesses said the collision occurred when a stalled vehicle, which was not visible, was slammed from behind. This set off a chain reaction, forcing numerous additional automobiles to collide.
In the photographs, a small Canter-type truck collided with the halted truck, smashing its front end. The front of the white lorry landed partially on top of the first truck which had overturned.
It is unclear if the lorry overturned after or before the accident.
