On 30 June 2023, a lorry carrying a shipping container went out of control and hit several vehicles, pedestrians and market traders on a road in Londiani, Kericho County, Kenya, killing at least 52 people and injuring at least 30.

More than 270,000 people die in vehicle collisions in Africa each year, and the World Health Organization projects that figure will nearly double by 2030, in part due rapid urbanization.

[8] A lorry carrying a shipping container lost control and collided into several other vehicles, pedestrians and market traders at a busy junction in Londiani.

Murkomen said the government planned to move street traders from roadside areas to designated markets to avoid similar accidents in the future.
