One person died Sunday morning following a grisly road accident involving a trailer and a saloon car on the Eastern Bypass near the General Service Unit (GSU) training school in Nairobi.
Nairobi Traffic Commandant Edward Mwamburi said the incident happened early morning on Sunday when the trailer coming from Ruiru towards Embakasi collided head-on with the saloon car heading in the opposite direction.
Police said the saloon car belonged to a taxi driver who was on an early morning job when the accident occurred.

"We have already impounded the truck and it is at Embakasi police station. We established the driver tried to overtake before colliding head-on with the saloon car," said Mr Mwamburi.
