With around 3,000 casualties every year, Kenya has one of the highest road accident deaths in the world. By Monday, only four days into the New Year, 32 people had perished in road crashes, according to the National Transport and Safety Authority.
Predictably, some of the lives were lost in known black spots such Salgaa in Nakuru County. Among those killed at Salgaa this year were five teenagers who died on January 1. A man and his wife also died on the stretch on Sunday.
