At least six people were killed and nine others injured in a road accident along a busy highway in northwest Kenya, the police confirmed on Sunday.

肯尼亞警方周日證實，在肯尼亞西北部一條繁忙的公路上發(fā)生的一場交通事故中，至少有6人死亡，另有9人受傷。

Naivasha deputy divisional police commander John Kwasa said the Saturday night accident involved a minibus known locally as matatu and a truck which clashed head on along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

奈瓦沙省副區(qū)長科薩說，星期六晚上的事故，涉及當(dāng)?shù)匾惠v小型公共汽車和一輛卡車，兩車在內(nèi)羅畢-納庫魯高速公路上迎頭相撞。

“The matatu driver died while being rushed to the Naivasha-based healthy facility. Initial investigations indicate the matatu driver was at fault, occasioning the accident,” Kwasa said.

公車司機在被送往奈瓦沙的醫(yī)院中死亡。最初的調(diào)查顯示，公車司機的錯誤駕駛，導(dǎo)致了事故的發(fā)生。

The accident at Nyakairu center, some 15kms from Naivasha town occurred after the truck hit head on the incoming matatu killing five people on the spot. The sixth, a driver, died while being rushed to the Naivasha sub-county hospital.

事故發(fā)生在距奈瓦沙鎮(zhèn)15公里處的尼亞卡魯中心，卡車撞上了迎頭開進來的公車，當(dāng)場造成5人死亡。第六名死者是一名司機，在被送往納瓦沙縣附屬醫(yī)院時死亡。

Kwasa called on drivers to be cautious adding that speeding and careless overtaking was the cause of major accidents on the road.

夸薩呼吁司機要謹(jǐn)慎，并補充說，超速和粗心超車是道路上發(fā)生重大事故的原因。

An estimated 3,000 Kenyans die in road accidents annually despite concerted efforts by the state and the private sector to promote safety on the highways, according to the National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA).

據(jù)國家交通安全局(NTSA)統(tǒng)計，盡管肯尼亞政府和私營部門共同努力促進公路安全，每年仍有3000名肯尼亞人死于交通事故。
