The traffic snarl-up, which was caused by two separate accidents, was compounded by the current adverse weather conditions.
The National Police Service (NPS) described the situation — which lasted more than 15 hours — as a serious traffic gridlock.
The Nairobi-Nakuru-Eldoret highway has experienced traffic snarl-up, disruption movement of goods and passengers along the busy highway that serves as a critical segment of the Northern corridor.
The traffic snarl-up was caused by two separate accidents, one at Soysambu and another in Mbaruk, which were further compounded by the current adverse weather conditions, said East African Community (EAC) Principal Secretary Dr Caroline Karugu.
