At least 13 people died at the crack of dawn Wednesday after a Nairobi-bound bus from Mandera rammed a stationary truck at Matuu in Machakos County.<\/p>\n
The dead include 10 men, two women and a child, area police boss Joseph Karanja told the Nation<\/p>\n
Mr Karanja said the incident happened a few minutes after 5am, and that the driver of the truck that had stalled on the road had not placed warning signs (called life savers) to caution other users.<\/p>\n
The morning crash left scores of other passengers injured and they were taken to Matuu Level Four Hospital.<\/p>\n
The ill-fated bus belongs to Madina Sacco and plies between the capital and the northern Kenya town, near the Somalia border.<\/p>\n
The collision comes barely 24 hours after three people and were killed in a crash at Masimba market on Nairobi-Mombasa highway on Tuesday.
\nAt least 20 people have perished on Kenyan roads in less than a week, bringing into question the effectiveness of measures the government has put in place to arrest runaway carnage.<\/p>\n
