The handset had slipped out of her hands while she was riding on a promotion truck and landed on the road.
The teenager's skull crushed on the tarmac after she jumped from the moving vehicle on the Meru-Maua highway.
Tigania West OCPD Adamson Furaha said the girl was among promotion staff for a telecom provider doing roadshows.
She jumped from the moving vehicle to recover her phone which had slipped from her hands.
