The Mood matatu hit from behind in an accident in Eldoret./SCREENGRABGeorge Ruto’s high-end matatu “Mood,” valued at approximately Sh14 million, was involved in a rear-end collision in Eldoret on Sunday morning.
The incident occurred shortly after the vehicle had arrived in the city ahead of a homecoming event at Maili Tisa Park and Chill.
A smaller 14-seater matatu struck Mood from behind, leaving visible dents, but thankfully no injuries were reported.
Police were on the scene by publication time, investigating how the crash occurred.
“Mood,” which officially debuted in mid-July, has been creating a buzz around the country with its upscale amenities.

Since its launch, the matatu has often been seen at high-profile events in Nairobi, and has drawn attention for pushing the boundaries of what commuters expect in terms of comfort.
As of now, the damage from the Eldoret crash seems cosmetic.
Authorities are yet to report what led to the accident, whether mechanical failure, driver error, or road conditions played a role.
