A road accident in western Kenya killed at least 51 people, police said. It happened at a notorious junction when a truck driver lost control of his vehicle, crashing into other motorists. The mangled metal remains of several vehicles could be seen as emergency services arrived at the scene on a highway between the lakeside towns of Nakuru and Kericho. Kenya’s president, William Ruto, wrote on Twitter: ‘ pray for the speedy recovery of all survivors; you are in our thoughts.’ He urged motorists to drive carefully, being especially cautious in rainy conditions
