The flight, coming reportely from Naivasha and heading to a Nairobi airfield, force landed next to a road and suffered major damage after hitting a tree and other objects on the ground. The propeller was extensively damaged as was the hull of the aircraft.
The pilot though walked away from the wreck and is reportedly in reasonably good health.
While local police cordoned off the accident site have authorities launched an air accident investigation to establish the cause of the crash.
