Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>An accident involving two armored vehicles in Haiti\u2019s capital left at least two people dead and eight police officers from Kenya injured, according to officials.<\/p>\n

The one dead and all those injured were part of a U.N.-backed mission fighting gangs in the troubled Caribbean country.<\/p>\n

The other fatality was a civilian, according to a statement from the mission\u2019s spokesman, Jack Ombaka.<\/p>\n

Three of those injured were in serious condition and airlifted to the neighboring Dominican Republic for treatment, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The accident occurred Sunday evening along the Kenscoff-Pe\u0301tion-Ville route in the outskirts of the capital, Port-au-Prince.<\/p>\n

Ombaka said it happened when one of the armored vehicles that was towing a disabled one broke down.<\/p>\n

It brought to three the number of Kenyan police officers killed in Haiti since the mission began more than a year ago.<\/p>\n

One was killed in a gang attack, and another remains missing and is presumed dead.<\/p>\n
