Two people, including a student, have died after they were reportedly struck by a truck at the Nakuru Railway Bridge.
According to preliminary reports, the victims had just alighted from a matatu when they were hit by the truck as they made their way from the vehicle.
The impact left the two pedestrians fatally injured, with the incident causing concern among motorists and members of the public at the busy stretch.
The circumstances leading to the crash remain unclear, and details on whether the truck was carrying out any manoeuvre or whether other factors contributed to the accident have not yet been established.
The incident is likely to renew concerns about pedestrian safety around the railway bridge, particularly where public transport vehicles drop off and pick up passengers.
Witnesses and other road users may be key to helping authorities piece together what happened moments before the collision and establish how the accident occurred.
Authorities are expected to investigate the incident and establish the events that led to the fatal collision.
The tragedy comes as a reminder of the risks pedestrians face along busy roads, particularly at points where passengers alight from public service vehicles.
Further details, including the identities of the victims and the circumstances surrounding the crash, are expected as investigations continue.
