Bodyguards for Kenyan president injured in car accident

A automobile that belonged to the Kenyan president’s security detail overturned on a road in the Naivasha district of the Rift Valley, injuring at least two people.

The vehicle was part of a motorcade that was on its way back to the capital, Nairobi, on Wednesday after President William Ruto had attended an event to flag off the WRC Safari Rally competition.

Mr Ruto is said not to have been in the motorcade as he had flown by helicopter.

It was not clear what caused the accident. Witnesses told local media that the driver had been trying to negotiate a sharp bend.

The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Rally teams were testing their cars in Naivasha on Wednesday ahead of the race that starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday
