Story summary

A bus collided with a truck on Sunday, October 25, 2026, near Makueni in Kenya's main highway, killing at least 22 people according to police. This incident occurred three weeks after another crash along the same highway that killed 17 people. The latest crash site is designated as an “accident black spot” by Kenya’s National Transport and Safety Authority, which had previously recommended addressing safety concerns in the area. Passengers on Sunday's bus were returning from a funeral when the accident happened; several others were injured but survived. Makueni County Commissioner Abdullahi Khalif stated that the death toll could still rise. The exact cause of the collision remains unclear, though speeding and poor road conditions have been cited as contributing factors in previous accidents.
