Six people died in two separate accidents in Kenya, including four in a fire involving two trucks in Makueni and two after a collision in Nakuru. The accidents occurred on Sunday and renewed calls to comply with road safety rules, according to Kenyan police.

Two road accidents killed six people in Kenya on Sunday, four in Makueni County and two in Nakuru County, according to Citizen Digital. In Makueni, two trucks collided and caught fire on the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway, in Kiunduani Town, killing four people, including two truck drivers, a woman and her child.

In Nakuru, two people died after a private car collided with a truck at Soysambu, near Gilgil, on the Nairobi-Nakuru route. Two other occupants of the car survived and were taken to hospital, according to police cited by Citizen Digital.

Kenya's Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja ordered traffic officers to strengthen enforcement of road safety rules ahead of the December festivities. He also called for a crackdown on illegally produced alcoholic drinks and drug use, which he links to dangerous behaviour and crime, according to Citizen Digital.
