A family of six is also reported to be among the fatalities there.
Those injured were ferried to the Mary Immaculate Hospital Mweiga, with others referred to the Nyeri County Referral Level 5 Hospital.
The witnesses confiding in Citizen TV claimed potholes on the road had contributed to numerous accidents reported in the recent past.
A snarl-up followed the accident as the law enforcers cleared the scene.
The road carnage came days after three people were killed and several others injured in another one in Mombasa.
The victims were on board a Mash Cool bus en route to Malindi from Nairobi on Sunday, December 24, when it encountered a heavy truck near the Taru Town Centre along the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway.
Preliminary investigations established the driver of the trailer could not keep to his lane, prompting the bus to veer off the road in a bid to escape it.
The cabin of the truck was wrecked following the impact of the collision, with the bus, equally wrecked, overturning beside the road.
The Red Cross had earlier confirmed in an update that 19 people were severely injured.
They were rushed to the Samburu Sub-County Hospital for treatment as the deceased's bodies were booked into the Kinango Sub-County Hospital Mortuary.
