At least five people are feared dead following a grisly road accident along the Narok-Bomet road.
The accident involved a matatu and a truck on Friday.
The Matatu involved in the accident was from the ENA bus company.
Th accident comes a day after The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) said 1,912 people have lost their lives to road accidents from January to May this year.
NTSA Deputy Director Road Safety Duncan Kibogong said this is an increase of 9 per cent of total fatalities on Kenyan roads as compared to a similar period last year where a total of 1754 road users lost their lives.

“Up to 80 per cent of causes of road traffic injuries is because of behavioural aspects, how we behave on the roads," said Kibogong.
Kibogong also noted that motorists found flaunting traffic rules, particularly when on campaign trails will have their licenses revoked.
“We will not allow motorists to disobey traffic rules, people hanging on vehicles dangerously, excess passengers, motorcycles hooting and riding at high speeds. We have increased surveillance and we will have those particular ones arrested and arraigned,” Kibogong said.
Kibogong said the increase in road accidents could be attributed to high levels of lawlessness among road users.
