Nairobi, March 29 (Xinhua) — At least 15 people were killed in a road accident involving a truck carrying logs and a minibus on Saturday evening in Nyeri County in central Kenya, according to Central Regional Traffic Police Officer Elizabeth Vivi.
According to her, the accident occurred on the Nyeri-Nyahururu highway, 10 people died on the spot, and another five died in hospital from their injuries.
According to E. Vivi, the truck swerved to avoid the cyclists, which resulted in a head-on collision with a 14-seater minibus.
Kenyan President William Ruto expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. "The national government, together with the Nyeri County Administration, is in touch with the families affected by this tragedy and will provide all necessary support during this difficult time," he said.
Kenya's National Transport and Safety Authority described the incident as a devastating loss.
A preliminary investigation has shown that the accident was likely caused by a combination of careless driving, excessive speed and a malfunction in the truck, which is believed to have lost control. –0–
