27 killed in bus, truck collision in Kenya
Kenyan police say 27 people have been killed in a collision between a passenger bus and a trailer truck.
Police say the accident took place along the major road linking two of Kenya's biggest cities, capital Nairobi and the port of Mombasa.
Leornard Kimaiyo, the police chief in the Kambu area of Maukeni county, says the bus was heading to Mombasa and the trailer in the opposite direction when they collided on Tuesday.
Road accidents kill around 3,000 people in Kenya every year.
Kimaiyo later told Reuters that the accident occurred in the Kibwezi area.
He said most of the passengers were families returning from Easter festivities and students preparing for the reopening of schools after holidays.
Another 19 people were injured. Kimaiyo said the death toll could rise.
