Police Land Cruiser Crashes With Saloon Car on Eldoret-Nakuru Highway

A police Land Cruiser and a saloon car collided along the Eldoret-Nakuru Highway on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The crash happened at Jamboni, Annex.

Footage shows the police vehicle lying off the road. It appears to have overturned several times. The saloon car suffered heavy front-end damage, which suggests a slight impact between the two vehicles.

A large crowd gathered at the scene. Several people tried to pull trapped occupants from the wreckage. Early reports say some officers aboard the patrol vehicle were hurt. 

The extent of their injuries is still unclear. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the accident or released an official casualty count.

A towing vehicle was later sent to clear the wreckage. Crews worked to reopen the highway.

Witnesses say the Jamboni-Annex stretch has large potholes. Those holes make simple manoeuvres difficult for drivers. The highway has seen several deadly crashes this year, including accidents in Ngata, Salgaa, Timboroa, and Twin Bridge.

Another crash on the same day killed at least five people and injured eight others in Salgaa. A matatu collided with a trailer there.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched road safety campaigns for November and December. The drive aims to reduce accidents as many Kenyans travel for the festive season.
