Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Truck Collides With 3 Matatus Injuring 10

A truck belonging to the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) lost control and rammed into three matatus along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

The accident happened on Wednesday night and 10 people were seriously injured near Raini centre which is about 15kms from Naivasha town.

The truck is said to have developed mechanical problems and first hit a personal car before proceeding to collide with the matatus.

Traffic was paralysed for more than an hour as police rescued victims and towed the wreckage away.

According to sources, the truck driver had tried avoiding other vehicles before the accident occurred.

Casualties were taken to Naivasha sub-county hospital and the driver of the army truck recorded a statement.

This comes three weeks after another KDF truck was involved in an accident in Isiolo town, killing a boda-boda rider.

Local residents threatened to set the truck ablaze and police officers had to shoot in the air to disperse the crowd and allow them to collect the body of the boda-boda rider.
