A gruesome road accident involving two trailers has left motorists in shock along the Eldoret-Webuye highway near Mukhonji. The collision, which occurred earlier today, caused massive traffic snarl-ups as emergency teams rushed to the scene.
Details of the Accident
Eyewitnesses reported that the two heavy commercial vehicles collided head-on, with one trailer overturning and spilling its load. The impact was so severe that both trucks were left mangled, blocking a significant portion of the busy highway.
“One of the drivers lost control while trying to overtake, and before we knew it, there was a loud bang,” said a witness at the scene. Authorities have yet to confirm the exact cause, but reckless driving and poor road conditions are suspected factors.
Emergency Response
Police and rescue teams were quickly deployed to manage the situation, with efforts focused on clearing the wreckage and assisting the injured. So far, the number of casualties remains unconfirmed, but fears are rising as the wreckage is still being assessed.
Traffic Advisory
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes as the highway remains partially closed. Recovery operations are ongoing, but delays are expected for several hours.
