The death toll from a grisly road crash in western Kenya rose to 52 on Saturday as rescuers worked to clear the wreckage where more victims are feared trapped.
In one of the deadliest accidents in Kenya, a truck carrying a shipping container veered out of control and ploughed into multiple other vehicles and people at a busy road junction on Friday evening.
Transport Minister Kipchumba Murkomen told reporters, during a visit to the scene of the disaster in Kericho, new safety measures will be introduced and an investigation was launched to establish the cause.
