Traffic snarl up as truck bursts into flames on Kericho-Kisumu Highway

The truck caught fire and burst into flames along Kericho – Kisumu Highway

A driver of a truck carrying cement manufacturing materials narrowly escaped a fiery death after the vehicle caught fire and burst into flames along the Kericho – Kisumu Highway near Moi Kipsitet Girls High School.

A shaken William Gitau, whose truck's  wreckage was smoldering with the smoke billowing high up in the sky  as we conducted the interview, said he was on his way from Mombasa to deliver material to Rai cement manufacturing company branch in Soin Ward  when the truck’s tyres – unexplainably-caught fire.
