One person has died, and four others are nursing serious injuries after a head-on collision between a trailer and a lorry on the busy Nakuru-Eldoret Highway.
The collision happened near the Twin neighborhood of Kuresoi North, which locals labeled a "blackspot" due to recent accidents.
According to witnesses, the trailer's driver appeared to lose control owing to the continued heavy rains and collided with an oncoming vehicle on the opposite side as he descended a hill.
