Senior police officer among two killed in collision on Narok-Mai Mahiu highway

The incident occurred at around 10:00 p.m. near Duka Moja and involved three vehicles: a Scania trailer, a Toyota Prado TX  and a Toyota G-Touring.

According to police reports, the Scania trailer was travelling from Narok to Mai Mahiu when the driver—whose identity is unknown—failed to stay in the correct lane and veered into oncoming traffic. 

The trailer collided head-on with a Toyota Prado driven by Chief Inspector George Rotich Kipchumba, a senior officer at Narok Traffic Base.

The Prado was then pushed into an oncoming Toyota G-Touring driven by Nicholas Mwiti, 45.

Both Chief Inspector Kipchumba and the unidentified trailer driver died immediately.

A passenger in the Prado suffered severe head injuries and was taken to Narok County Referral Hospital for treatment. 

Four unidentified passengers in the Scania trailer were also injured and transported to a hospital in Narok. 

The bodies of the deceased were transferred to the Narok County Referral Hospital mortuary pending identification and postmortem examinations.
