The accident occurred barely a day after the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport Kipchumba Murkomen issued a safety advisory notice to drivers during the festive season.
“To protect lives, drivers must adhere to road safety guidelines," warned the CS.
He urged drivers to be aware of the dangers of fatigue and to make sure they have enough sleep.
He said long-distance public service vehicles were required to have two drivers to ensure that one rests after eight to 10 hours of driving.
