A horrific collision between a lorry and a tractor has been reported this afternoon at Kutete along the busy Narok–Kisii highway, sparking urgent safety concerns over a troubling spike in traffic accidents on the vital corridor.
This incident, which occurred under unclear circumstances, becomes the third major accident reported today alone along the Nairobi–Kisii route — a key artery connecting major towns and counties in the southwestern region of Kenya.
Eyewitnesses at the scene described the crash as devastating, with mangled wreckage strewn across the road, causing a significant traffic snarl-up and panic among travelers. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene immediately, but authorities have not yet confirmed the number of injuries or fatalities.
Transport operators and residents are now calling for an immediate intervention by traffic authorities to address what they describe as a “deadly trend.””We’ve had three serious accidents in less than 24 hours.
Something is terribly wrong,” said one matatu operator who frequents the highway.Details of the other two incidents earlier today remain sketchy, but sources confirm they occurred near Suswa and Ntulele — both known accident hotspots.
This string of crashes raises critical questions about road safety enforcement, vehicle roadworthiness, and driver alertness on this perilous stretch of road.Motorists are being urged to exercise extreme caution, especially during the peak travel hours and in areas prone to sharp bends and poor visibility.
Authorities are expected to release a full statement later today as investigations into the Kutete crash continue.
