Three men died in Ruiru, Kiambu County, while offloading granite from a trailer that had ferried the material from the industrial area in Nairobi.
The incident happened on Thursday evening as eight people offloaded the material and the granite ended up slipping and crushing down on them.
Four, according to Ruiru Sub-County police commander Alex Shikondi, managed to escape, while another suffered serious injuries and is recuperating in hospital.
Survivors recounted the horrific incident, saying their efforts to rescue their colleagues were futile.
One of the survivors, who sought anonymity, said, “The trailer was not stable, making it difficult to offload the granite and those handling the material did not have experience in handling the product safely.”
A probe has been launched into the deaths.
