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.
