The accident occurred 200 metres from Molo GSU camp along Nakuru-Eldoret highway.
" I am bound to Mombasa from Kampala and I had to hit them to save more lives when the steering system failed in my lorry," the driver of the ill-fated trailer said.
Molo Base commander Moses Nderitu arrived at the scene soon after it occurred.
Yesterday, thirty-six people perished in the grisly road accident at the notorious Salgaa blackspot after the bus they were travelling in collided head-on with a trailer.
At least 30 died on the spot while six others lost their lives while undergoing treatment at the Nakuru Level Five Hospital and Molo Sub-County Hospital.
Among the dead are 34 passengers who were aboard the ill-fated bus belonging to Matunda Bus while the other two are the driver of the trailer and his loader.
