Traffic was disrupted along Thika Superhighway on Monday morning after a grisly road accident that involved at least four vehicles.
The accident occurred at Muthaiga near Pangani area and caused a huge traffic snarl up along the busy road.
According to eyewitnesses, one bus and at least three other cars overturned after ramming into each other and blocked both ways.
No casualties were reported, as motorists heading to Nairobi CBD were advised to use the service lanes to avoid the crashed cars that had blocked off the entire highway.

This comes just a few months after another nasty accident involving six vehicles was reported at the same very spot after one of the buses, Virginia Coach, skidded off the slippery road and hit the guard rail.
Witnesses claimed that the bus lost control during an overtaking manoeuvre, while the other skidded off the wet road and on to the crash barriers leading up to the accident.
