At least fifteen people have alleged to have died after a Nairobi-bound bus crashed into a stalled lorry along Thika-Garissa highway… Very Sad Morning indeed.
The Nairobi-bound passenger bus was traveling from Mandera.

The injured were rushed to Matuu Level Four hospital according to Yatta police commander Joseph Njoroge Karanja.
In 2018,the ban on night travel by public service vehicles suffered a huge blow after a court in Nakuru released drivers who had been charged with driving at night saying there was no law that prohibits night travel.
There is no requirement that allows the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to issue any special licence to a driver who wants to be allowed to travel at night.
According to NTSA, 67 per cent of accidents involving passenger vehicles happen at night. PSV operators say that while they do not oppose the ban, the times should be adjusted so as to cushion the sector from losses.
