Friday’s smash happened at a spot known for crashes near the Rift Valley town of Londiani, which is about 125 miles northwest of the capital Nairobi. Officers at the scene counted 51 bodies but more people are believed to be trapped in the wreckage, Rift Valley police commander Tom Odera said. Some 32 people were hurt and admitted to hospital, the Kenya Red Cross Society said as it appealed for people to give blood. Downpours interrupted rescue efforts and people were still stuck in wrecked vehicles, it added. The Kenyan Red Cross Society has set up stations at hospitals where people can report loved ones still missing and is providing psychological support to those affected.
