More than 30 killed as gas truck rams into vehicles on highway

A runaway truck carrying volatile gas slammed into other vehicles and burst into flames on a major road in Kenya, killing at least 33 people and injuring 10, officials said on Sunday.

The truck lost control while going downhill on the road from the capital, Nairobi, to Naivasha late Saturday, said Mwachi Pius Masai, the deputy director and communications officer for the National Disaster Management Unit.

"This is a serious chemical incident," Masai said. "Police and other rescuers are still on the scene ... clearing debris."
