At around 3:30 am today, a heart-wrenching incident unfolded in Ngata area, Nakuru, along the Soilo-Salgaa stretch of the Great North Road, resulting in the loss of eight lives. As reported by Nakuru County Police Commander, Samuel Ndanyi, this tragedy occurred when a Matatu, carrying passengers from Kitale to Nairobi, collided head-on with a truck.
