Kenya Road Crash Kills Ten

Nairobi — Ten people died and scores were injured in a dawn accident on the
Naivasha- Maai Mahiu road in Kenya's Rift Valley province.

The 5.am. accident occurred after a bus travelling from Busia to the capital
Nairobi collided with a trailer on the busy highway.

Police said that the trailer was overtaking a stationary vehicle and the driver
lost control causing the deadly collision, which left 45 injured.

A turnboy from the trailer was among the eight dead at the scene, while two
others died on the way to Naivasha District Hospital.

The bus driver escaped unhurt as the trailer rammed into the bus from the side
but the other 60 passengers were not so lucky.

The injured were rushed to Kijabe Mission Hospital.
