A priest and his wife, on Saturday 14th July 2023, died on the spot after a trailer that had brake failure rammed their car in the crash where 20 vehicles were involved.
Two students from a school in Nairobi were among 52 people who were injured in the fatal accident.
Police says the students were rushed and admitted at PCEA Kikuyu Hospital.
Kikuyu sub-county Police Commander Ronald Kirui detailed that investigation into the incident is underway.
He urged drivers to maintain driving discipline and service their vehicles as part of efforts to address such accidents.
Local says the completion of a section of the road where service lanes will be constructed by Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) will reduce more loss of lives.
The Nairobi women Rep, Esther Passaris sympathized with the affected families.
“Deeply saddened to hear about the tragic accident on the Nairobi – Nakuru highway resulting in the loss of two lives and leaving 52 injured. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Urgent measures must be taken to improve road safety and prevent such devastating incidents in the future.” Said Passaris.
