At least six people were killed in a road accident that occurred in Subukia, Nakuru county on Tuesday night.
It involved a speeding truck with cargo, police said.
Police said a cargo truck carrying timber lost its direction and hit two people on a boda boda killing them.
It then veered off the road and hit other pedestrians. In total, six people were dead.
The bodies were moved to a local mortuary pending autopsy.
Residents in the area have complained of increased accidents on the Nakuru-Nyahururu highway recently.
They want the government to investigate in detail and take action.
This came Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo said there will be heightened traffic operations to address reckless driving, overloaded vehicles, and unlicensed public service vehicles and other forms of indiscipline on our roads.
“We have deployed additional traffic officers on the roads to ensure free flow of traffic,” he said.
