MAKUENI, Kenya (AP) — A bus collided with a truck on Kenya’s main highway on Sunday, killing at least 22 people, police said.
The crash came three weeks after 17 people died in another accident along the same highway linking the capital, Nairobi, with the coastal city of Mombasa.
Some 24 others were injured in the Sunday morning crash and were receiving treatment, according to Paul Kisienya, the medical superintendent at Mtito Andei hospital that received most of those injured.
The passengers were returning to Mombasa after attending the funeral of their church pastor in western Kenya when the accident occurred.
