A significant multi-vehicle accident involving four vehicles and a motorcycle occurred on the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway on Sunday night, June 7, resulting in numerous injuries.

• At least 27 passengers sustained critical injuries.
• The Kenya Red Cross, alongside other emergency services, responded to evacuate casualties to Sultan Hamud sub-county hospital.
• The accident disrupted traffic and renewed calls for the dualing of the busy highway, with an expressway project underway.

In Kenya, trailer number plates are distinctively marked with the letter 'Z' as a deliberate system to identify them as separate legal entities from the trucks towing them.

• Trailer plates prefix with 'Z' and feature black text on a yellow reflective background, distinguishing them from regular vehicle plates.
• This system, mandated by the Traffic Act, ensures each trailer has its own independent registration, logbook, ownership, and insurance.
• This practice is not unique to Kenya; other countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania also use specific codes or series to identify trailers.

A man suspected of impersonating a Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) member was arrested with a loaded pistol at the Sony Green Stadium in Migori County.

• The suspect was found with a CZ pistol loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition.
• The arrest was made by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) after the man attempted to access the VIP section during a football match.
• The firearm belonged to a civilian licensed holder, who was also arrested for lending the weapon to an unauthorized person.
