deaths, which is an increase from last year's 674.
In the report, 682 passengers died, compared to
last year's 650.
NTSA said the number of drivers killed in accidents during the same period reduced to 285 compared to 290 last year.
Nairobi leads in the number of road crashes nationwide and privately owned vehicles are linked to most of the accidents.
Human error, recklessness, drunk-driving, speeding and non-compliance of traffic rules are to blame for road
carnage.
Another report released
by the NTSA in August showed there are 273 blackspots countrywide.
Out of this,
199 are in the Northern Corridor and 74 in Nairobi.
