The trailer veered off the road and crashed into the railings on the Rironi-Mai Mahiu Road, causing a major traffic jam that is impacting motorists traveling to and from Mai Mahiu.


Promptly alerted by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), motorists and other road users are advised to avoid the congested stretch and utilize alternative routes, including the main Naivasha-Nairobi highway.
