48 killed in truck accident in Kenya. The incident took place at a busy junction in western Kenya. The truck lost control and rammed into other vehicles and pedestrians. The truck that was going to Kericho was involved in the accident.
Local police commander Geoffrey Mayak said it is suspected that one or two people are still trapped under the truck. It is reported that 30 people were injured in the accident. They have been admitted to various hospitals. The death toll is likely to rise.
The Kenyan Red Cross, which arrived at the scene with ambulances and rescue workers, said heavy rain was hampering the rescue operation. Transport Minister Kipchumba Murkomen said on Twitter that investigations will be carried out to determine the cause of the accident after the rescue operations.
