Scores of passengers were injured when a matatu overturned at the entrance of the Nairobi Expressway in Westlands, Nairobi County.

Witnesses say the matatu hit a guardrail as the driver tried to evade another vehicle. Images on social media showed an ambulance at the scene as paramedics went on with the rescue mission.
