Meanwhile, at least five people, among them an infant, died after their vehicle was involved in a grisly road crash at Mbaruk area in Gilgil along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway on Tuesday.
Nakuru County Traffic Enforcement Officer Allan Ogolla said the Monday evening accident involved three vehicles, with all the five victims on board one private car.
Police said the driver of a Toyota Fielder was overtaking a fleet of vehicles but was caught up before he got back to his lane, colliding head-on with a saloon car.
After the collision, the driver of the Toyota Fielder lost control of the vehicle and rammed into a trailer, a Mercedes-Benz Actros.
The car was headed for Nairobi from Nakuru when the accident happened at about 6 p.m.
Due to the impact of the crash, all five occupants — including a male infant, two female adults, and two male adults — died on the spot.
Their car also caught fire and was reduced to a shell, police said.
The crash caused a traffic snarl as the police cleared traffic from both sides of the highway.
The bodies were moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and other procedures, while the wreckages were moved to the local police station.
