Kenya president's bodyguards injured after car rolls

At least two members of the Kenyan president's security team have been injured after their car rolled over on a road in the Rift Valley district of Naivasha.

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.
