A bus carrying church mourners collided with a truck in Makueni County, Kenya, killing at least 24 people. Another 24 were injured, according to AP. The crash happened on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway, where another accident killed 17 people three weeks ago. The government promised tougher road safety enforcement.

Why it matters

The highway is East Africa's main trade route, and repeated crashes are raising pressure for road safety rules.

Background

The Nairobi-Mombasa highway links Kenya's capital to its main port. Heavy truck and bus traffic makes it one of the country's most dangerous roads.
