At least four members of the President William Ruto’s escort team sustained injuries after their official car rolled in Naivasha.
The incident happened at Mlima Nugu along the Moi South Lake road as the car raced back to Nairobi, police said.
The vehicle was coming from Naivasha where Ruto had gone to flag off the 2023 WRC Safari Rally, a precursor of the main rallying event slated for this weekend.
Witnesses said the driver of the Presidential Escort Unit motorcade vehicle lost control while trying to negotiate a sharp corner on the route.
Ruto was not in the motorcade, police said. He flew to and from Naivasha for the Safari Rally event. He was informed of the incident. He had flown to the Loldia spectator's point using a chopper, police said.
The scene was quickly cordoned off by other heavily armed presidential security guards and members of the elite General Service Unit (GSU) who had been informed.
The injured were picked up and taken to the hospital are now in stable condition, the police said.
The President is usually guarded by the Presidential Escort Unit and Presidential Guard. Advance teams had driven to the place to wait for him.
The President has almost 200 officers dedicated to his security and his family.
