This story is from the archive. It was covered between 3 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

At least 17 people were killed in a road crash involving several vehicles on the highway from the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa to the capital, Nairobi.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead with the death toll and the fact that the crash involved several vehicles on the Mombasa to Nairobi highway. Al Jazeera is the only one to specify the location as the Salama area 90km southeast of Nairobi and to say the victims were mostly Catholic pilgrims. Sky News keeps the coverage more general and does not include those details in its extract.
