Survivors Lucy Wanjiku and Jecinta Njeri shared their harrowing experience, explaining that the driver of their 14-seater vehicle attempted to avoid colliding with a trailer approaching from the opposite direction.
Unfortunately, the trailer seemed to have lost its brakes, leading to a loss of control and a collision with their vehicle.
Three survivors were quickly taken to Nyahururu County and Referral Hospital for treatment, with two of them being discharged, while another remained admitted with head injuries.
The bodies of the four individuals who tragically lost their lives at the accident site were transported to the Nyahururu County Hospital Mortuary.
Additional survivors were transported to various hospitals in Nyeri County for medical attention.
Nyandarua County Women’s Representative Faith Gitau, who assisted the survivors, expressed deep sympathy for the victims and called for strength and resilience for their grieving families.
