Television images showed scenes of devastation at the site of the crash, with the mangled wreckage of several minibuses and the overturned truck as rescue workers hunted in darkness for people feared trapped.
"I have seen a very bad scene, bodies and blood all over. So many people are dead," said one witness, Maureen Jepkoech. Transport Minister Kipchumba Murkomen said on Twitter that the rescue efforts would be followed by investigations to determine the cause of the crash. "The truck was on high speed and it was hooting. It tried to avoid several vehicles before it came straight into the market," said witness Jepkoech.
In a speech in December, Murkomen blamed human error for much of the carnage on the roads, including drunk or reckless driving, speeding and dangerous overtaking among other reasons for crashes.
