One person has been killed in a road accident along the Eldoret -Malaba highway.

The boda boda rider succumbed to injuries after the accident that involved a trailer.

Two other people got injured in the tragedy.

A picture of the accident shows that the trailer had fallen on the tarmac road. It is not clear yet what caused the accident.

The incident comes days after 8 people died in an accident on the same road while heading to Nairobi.

This was after a 2NK shuttle hit the back of a trailer that had been packed slightly on the road.

Reports indicate that the trailer had experienced a breakdown and the driver could not manage to park it besides the road.

The accident happened early in the morning around 5 am.

The accident led to NTSA summoning all 2NK vehicles for inspection even as the Authority said the shuttle company was not licensed to operate in the route.

A report released last week indicates that 60 people had already been killed in road accidents in 2022 just within the first week.

The numbers are a wake-up call for motorists to adhere to rules and regulations and also be cautious while on the road.
