Three people, including two adults and a child, lost their lives in a tragic accident involving a bus on the Londiani-Kisumu Road early Saturday morning.
The accident occurred at approximately 4 a.m. when the driver of the bus, identified by the nickname “Dreamliner,” lost control while navigating a bend. The bus veered off the road and landed in a ditch, according to police reports.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, and at least 41 passengers, many with multiple injuries, were transported to Londiani Sub-County Hospital for treatment. Witnesses described the aftermath as chaotic, with victims requiring urgent medical attention.
Authorities confirmed that the driver has been detained for interrogation as investigations into the cause of the accident continue.
This incident adds to the growing number of fatal road accidents, despite ongoing campaigns to improve road safety and reduce such tragedies.
Local authorities have urged drivers to exercise greater caution, particularly when navigating challenging stretches of road.
