At least five people were killed and more than 11 were rescued in Kenya on Friday after a truck carrying a large group of people tipped over in raging floodwaters.
The truck driver was reportedly attempting to help evacuees cross a river when the vehicle got stuck and toppled over.
Local authorities said a majority of passengers were swept away and fear there may be more casualties as crews continue to search.
Government officials have reported at least 70 deaths in Kenya in the last month due to severe weather.
