Four vehicles were involved in a road accident on Friday evening at Sachang'wan area on the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway.
Confirming the accident, Molo Division Traffic Officer Moses Nderitu said a truck driver lost control of the vehicle which caused the accident.
Nderitu said one person died during the evening accident that involved two trucks, a Probox car and a 14- seater matatu.
The traffic officer said the truck after losing control hit another truck which in turn hit the Probox and the matatu.
The 5 pm incident caused a heavy traffic jam along the busy highway and one person sustained serious injuries.
“One of the truck drivers sustained serious injuries and was taken to Molo Sub County Hospital for treatment,” said Nderitu as quoted by nation.co.ke.
The truck that caused the accident was carrying dry maize and sorghum and the vehicles were heading to Nairobi from Eldoret.
The incident comes barely a day when 13 people were killed and several others injured when an Eldoret Express bus collided with a truck at Pala, in Kisumu.
The bus driver is said to have tried to overtake a cane tractor before he collided head-on with the truck that was coming on the opposite direction.
