One person lost their life on the spot, and over 50 passengers were rescued after a tragic accident occurred in the early hours of the morning at Twin Bridge, Mau Summit, on the Nakuru-Eldoret highway.

“The rescue operation was challenging due to the extensive damage to both vehicles, but our teams worked tirelessly to save as many lives as possible,” added a spokesperson from the emergency services.
