Nairobi — The British High Commission Kenya has sent messages of condolence to families of the victims of a horrific road accident that claimed the lives of more than 50 people late Friday.

In the mass casualty incident, a truck plunged into a market in Londiani, Kericho county, killing innocent bystanders, traders and motorists.

Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Abdi Hassan who took charge of rescue operations said his team resumed the search for more bodies Saturday morning amid reports of more bodies trapped in the wreckage.

"The search has resumed and we want to remove two bodies in the wreckage. We don't know if they are more," Abdi said.

He said more than 30 people were injured when the truck hit cars, minibuses, boda bodas (motorcycle taxis) and market stalls.

Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen who visited the scene on Saturday morning to access the situation promised to take corrective measures.

"We are ready as a ministry to provide access roads to the markets, entry and exit routes to the market so that people driving in to buy the produce can go in and avoid such catastrophes," Murkomen said.
