Two people have died in a road accident involving two trucks along the Naivasha-Mai Mahiu road.
The bodies of the two drivers of a truck and a canter were for over one hour trapped in the wreckages before police moved to retrieve them.
The accident near Longonot trading center occurred after the trailer that was heading to Naivasha rammed into canter while overtaking.
On impact, the two died on the spot while the trailer spilled tonnes of rice that it was ferrying leading to a scramble from area residents.
