Officials from road and transport safety authorities on Wednesday visited the Nakuru Ngata Bridge where an accident occurred on Tuesday evening.
The officials from Kenya National Highways Authority and their counterparts from the National Transport and Safety Authority spent most of the day inspecting the scene.
This is after eight people died on the spot after a truck rammed into two matatus after its driver lost control.
The death toll has risen to 10 with eight survivors still admitted at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital in critical condition.
Nakuru County Police Commander, Peter Mwanzo who had accompanied the two teams said 11 others were treated and discharged.
The Tuesday evening accident comes less than three weeks after three students from the nearby Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology perished a few metres from the scene.
"Thirty people had died from 238 road accidents in Nakuru in the past month," said Mwanzo.
NTSA said the national statistics of deaths from road accidents had increased by nine per cent from 1754 by this time last year to 1912 this year.
Following the accident, Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen instructed KeNHA to commence construction of an additional lane to the three lanes along the sloppy stretch.
"KeNHA should also separate the flow of opposing streams of traffic with jersey barriers in the middle," read Murkomen's statement.
Similar measures were installed along the Molo River-Sachangwan-Kibuja stretch along the Nakuru Eldoret Highway which had been experiencing frequent fatal accidents including the Sachangwan tanker explosion that claimed 146, lives.
Accidents have reduced along the Sachangwan section.
