One person died this morning while four others escaped with injuries after an accident involving three vehicles along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.

Witnesses said the early morning accident occurred after two of the vehicles rammed into each other and burst into flames, past the Machakos junction.

Passengers in the ill-fated vehicles were rescued by other road users and rushed to the Machakos Level 5 Hospital.

Police and witnesses say the early morning accident was out of driver’s error but investigators are handling the case.

The incident caused a huge traffic snarl on the highway for hours as police cleared the flow.

Police have urged caution on the roads.
