Locals said they had placed chocks beneath the trailer's wheels to prevent it from moving.

The chocks were, however, overwhelmed, and the truck started moving while the driver and his assistant were down. According to the locals, the driver boarded the lorry before it could gain momentum and attempted to control it.

"The vehicle had stalled after developing mechanical problems. The driver and his assistant had alighted only for it to overwhelm the chocks placed beneath the wheels and started moving," said Kirui.
