Not less then 11 were killed in separate road accidents in Kenya.

At least 11 people were killed and
more than 10 others injured in three
separate accidents in eastern and
northwest Kenya on Friday and early
Saturday.
Five people were killed and one
injured following an accident
involving three trailers that occurred
along Nairobi-Mombasa highway
early Saturday. The crash caused
heavy traffic for the better part of
Saturday morning along the busy
highway.
On Friday night, at least six people
died in two different accidents along
the Nairobi-Nakuru highway. A total of
ten people, including six minors, were
seriously injured during the accidents
that occurred in a span of two hours
and within a radius of two kilometers.
In the first incident, a family of five
perished after a matatu they were
travelling in was involved in an
accident near Kikopey center in Gilgil,
about 110 km northwest of Nairobi.
The victims were incidentally coming
from a family reunion in Kiambogo
area and heading back to their homes
in Mbaruk when the accident
occurred. Joel Thuku, a witness, said
the matatu was driving downhill when
it rammed head on into the incoming
Canter.
In the second incident, a canter driver
died on the spot after he rammed into
the rear of a stalled lorry in Naivasha,
about 90 km northwest of Nairobi.
Amos Gichuru, a witness, said both
vehicles were heading towards
Nakuru when the accident occurred
with the conductor of the Canter
suffering serious head injuries.
“The Canter driver was in high speed
and he rammed into the rear of the
stalled lorry. He died on the spot,”
said Gichuru.
