A bus collided with a truck near a previously fatal accident site in Makueni, Kenya, killing 22 people. The crash occurred on a rural road, according to local authorities. Emergency services responded quickly but were unable to save all victims.
The collision happened in the early hours of the morning, near a stretch of road where a similar accident had killed several people just weeks earlier. Witnesses reported heavy rain contributed to the poor road conditions. The bus, carrying passengers, lost control and overturned.
This is the second major road accident in the area in less than a month. Officials have called for improved road safety measures and better enforcement of traffic rules. The incident has raised concerns about the state of infrastructure and emergency response in the region.
Kenya has seen a rise in road fatalities in recent years, with many accidents linked to poor road conditions and driver behavior. The government has pledged to increase funding for road safety initiatives, but progress has been slow. This latest tragedy highlights the ongoing challenges faced by rural communities.
