A horrific multi-vehicle accident involving a Tahmeed bus and at least five other vehicles has resulted in multiple fatalities and dozens of critically injured passengers along the Mombasa Highway. Separately, six civil rights activists arrested during the Saba Saba anniversary protests in Nairobi have pleaded not guilty to charges of obstructing public transport. The Kenya Meteorological Department has also issued a warning of intensely hot daytime conditions across Kenya from July 7 to July 13, 2026, with temperatures expected to soar above 30°C in at least 10 counties, which may contribute to road safety concerns.
