Several pupils feared dead and others suffering injuries after a school bus belonging to Maadili schools overturned along Gitugi- Murang’a road.
According to reports, two students allegedly succumbed to injuries while receiving treatment at the Murang’a Level 5 hospital.
The bus was reportedly ferrying the pupils from a scouts’ event in Nyeri when the accident occurred.
They added that the school bus lost control and veered off the road before overturning in a nearby thicket.
The exact number of fatalities and casualties is yet to be established.
Murang’a subcounty police commander Mary Wakuu, however, said they are still trying to establish the fatalities and how many pupils have been injured.
