Giant 3-km-long crack cuts off heavy traffic road in Kenya after torrential rains

6

The Narok – Mai Mahiu road has been reopened to traffic after repair works on the section that had been cut off by flood waters. Hundreds of travellers were stranded for hours on road after a section of the road collapsed on Tuesday night. The giant crack responsible for the collapse is 3 kilometers long and at least 6 meters deep. The heavy rains killed one schoolgirl. Three other students from a local secondary school were saved from being swept away and taken to hospital.

Police moved to the scene and blocked the road directing motorists to alternative routes to avoid the gulley measuring about four metres wide and six metres deep. This crack in the Earth is very impressive:

Here some pictures of the natural disaster:
