NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Emergency officials in Kenya say a train crashed into a passenger bus as it passed through a rail crossing, killing at least eight people.

Road accidents with high death tolls are common in Kenya. Streets and highways often lack basic safety features such as reflectors or street signs. Most railroad crossings do not have gates or flashing lights.
In addition, crowded buses frequently speed and pass other cars to cut down travel times.
