Kenyans are among 25 foreign nationals from seven countries who have been killed in a road crash involving four vehicles on a highway to Tanzania’s northern city of Arusha.
The accident occurred when a Kenyan-registered lorry hit three other vehicles, including one that was carrying foreign nationals volunteering at a school.
Ten women, 14 men, and a girl were killed in the Saturday crash, the presidency said in a statement on Sunday.
At least 21 people, including those from other countries, were injured in the accident.
The dead included an American, a South African, and other nationals from Kenya, Togo, Madagascar, and Burkina Faso.
The injured were people from Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Switzerland, Britain, and Mali, the statement added.
Police are looking for the driver of the truck that caused the accident, and who is said to have fled after the incident.
President Samia Hassan has sent her condolences to the families of the deceased and called for motorists to adhere to road safety regulations.
