Twenty two people died and several more were injured on Tuesday when a bus travelling to the Kenyan coast collided with a truck, police said. The accident occurred before dawn at Maungu, west of Mombasa on Kenya's east coast. Police were investigating the cause of the crash.
"More people have died and the official number is now 22," a spokesman said from the nearby town of Voi, where the injured were being treated.
A source at the Mombasa Liners bus company in Nairobi said there were initial reports of 20 dead and 40 injured. But the company's office in Mombasa said a team was still on the scene checking.
