Multiple Fatal Road Accidents Reported Across Kenya, Including Collisions in Kericho and Kimende - January 2026

A fatal road accident in Kericho County on January 6 claimed six lives and injured 46 others when a Uwezo Sacco bus collided with a trailer. This incident occurred amid a nationwide surge in road accident fatalities, prompting a new road safety campaign by authorities. Separately, at least four passengers are feared dead after another Uwezo bus collided with a lorry on the Londiani–Muhoroni road in Kericho County. A bus carrying students was also involved in a road crash in Kimende as they returned to school. In response to the incidents, the Long-Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LoDDCA) has accused KeNHA and the police of contributing to fatal accidents by neglecting drivers' concerns.
