Train-Bus Collision Kills Eight, Injures Many Near Naivasha Kenya

At least eight people, mostly employees of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), were killed and several others injured when a train collided with a KPC staff bus at a railway level crossing near Morendat Farm in Naivasha, Kenya. The bus was reportedly transporting employees home after their morning shift when it attempted to cross the railway tracks without adequately checking for an oncoming train, with poor visibility due to heavy rain possibly contributing to the crash. The train dragged the bus for over 200 meters, causing severe damage and casualties. Emergency response teams from KPC, local authorities, and the Red Cross swiftly responded, evacuating the injured to hospitals and arranging airlifts for those critically wounded. Investigations are ongoing, and KPC has mobilized welfare and psychosocial support for affected employees and families. Traffic disruptions occurred along nearby roads and railway lines as rescue efforts took place.
