Heavy rain pounded the Thika Road area on Thursday morning, leading to a multi-vehicle accident near Muthaiga Police Station.
According to eyewitnesses, one of the buses, Virginia Coach plying the Githurai route, skidded off the slippery road and hit the guard rail after the driver lost control while trying to overtake another vehicle.
Due to poor visibility, oncoming vehicles reportedly collided with the two buses and then stalled in the middle of the road.
The accident caused a huge traffic snarl up on the usually busy superhighway, with police at the scene facing a difficult time diverting traffic as heavy rain hampered visibility and other motorists slowed down to catch a glimpse of the accident.
