The bodies, which were badly mutilated, were taken to the hospital's mortuary awaiting post mortem. Sources within the hospital say the patients were in stable condition. The injured were rushed to the Narok County Referral hospital. It took the police and members of the public more time to disengage the wrecked vehicles from the trailer so as to get to the mangled bodies. “The driver of the trailer reportedly lost control of it after hitting bumps before ramming a lorry forcing it to roll, catching fire moments later,” said a witness. The other vehicles involved in the accident were a pick-up and a Toyota Axio. The trailer, which was carrying tea leaves, was heading to Nairobi while the lorry was going to Narok before the accident occurred. "I noticed something strange when the trailer overtook me and within a fraction of a second I saw the trailer rolling several times," said Mutua, a tour guide. The 7 pm accident, which involved four vehicles, occurred near Maltauro area along the busy Narok-Mai Mahiu highway about 40 kilometres from Narok town.Īccording to a witness Benson Mutua, the accident happened after a trailer speeding downhill lost control and hit head-on with an oncoming lorry before bursting into flames. Four people died on the spot while three others sustained serious injuries after a vehicle they were travelling in was involved in a road accident in Narok County on Saturday.
