The truck was on its way to Nyamira town when the driver lost control and crashed into a casket business.
The incident resulted in the destruction of several shops and other residences.
A woman who runs a business near the coffin shop died, and a four-year-old child was injured.
The deceased woman was confined inside the shop, according to Nyamira North Sub County Police Commander Patrick Ngeiywa.
The woman was stuck for more than four hours under the wreckage of the tanker before being rescued and confirmed dead by Nyamira North Police Commander Patrick Ngeiywa.
The Nyamira County Referral Hospital is treating the injured child, his grandmother, the driver, and his conductor.
The tanker, according to Ngeiywa, belonged to a petroleum trading company and was on its way to Kisii Town.
On schedule, police officers arrived on the site to disperse people attempting to siphon fuel from the truck.
