Story summary

A bus collided with a truck on Kenya’s main highway near Mtito Andei on October 25, 2026, killing at least 24 people and injuring another 24, according to police. The crash occurred shortly after passengers had stopped for breakfast while returning from a funeral in western Kenya. This incident happened just three weeks after another fatal accident along the same highway that killed 17 people. The stretch of road is designated as an "accident black spot" by Kenya’s National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), which has recommended safety improvements but failed to implement them fully. President William Ruto offered condolences on Sunday and ordered inspections of vehicles used for public transport in response to the recent accidents.
