A truck driver was found dead in his cabin long after the incident along the Kisumu-Kericho highway in Kapsoit area.
The driver was later identified as Kimanzi Mulonzya, 44. He had delivered raw cooking oil to Uganda and was driving back to Nairobi on December 12, 2025 when he parked the trailer near Medhill Health Centre, police said.
Witnesses said the lorry arrived there at about 9 am. It was until the following day on Saturday when curious locals got concerned. They told police they did not see him get out of the lorry.
Police visited the scene and found the body on the steering and slumped to the back bed in the cabin.
Police removed the body and found assorted drugs used in the management of ulcers.
There was a bucket containing sputum in the cabin, police said. The management of the lorry was contacted for further processing as the body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy.
The driver was alone at that time. The long distance drivers have to endure much to deliver the goods and services for a living.
