On Monday, January 5, a head-on collision between a Greenline bus and a Nanyuki Cabs shuttle at Karai on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway resulted in 10 deaths. The crash occurred around 2:00 a.m., and survivors claimed it was caused by the bus driver's reckless driving. In response to a spike in road accidents, the Motorists Association of Kenya called for a crackdown on "rogue" driving schools, alleging they provide inadequate training. Amid these safety concerns, the government has ordered strict compliance checks on school transport vehicles as students return for the 2026 academic year.
