Several feared dead after school bus collides with a trailer

2 dead, 10 critically injured after school bus collides with a trailer in Kiambu

Two people on Tuesday died while ten others sustained critical injuries after a bus they were traveling in got involved in a road accident along the Gitaru-Kikuyu Road in Kiambu County.

According to witnesses, the bus which belongs to Archbishop Ezekiel’s group of schools reportedly lost control before ramming into an oncoming trailer.

Following the incident, the school bus, which was full of passengers, veered off the highway before overturning at a nearby thicket.

Rescue teams were quickly dispatched to the scene and with the help of the members of the public, those trapped inside the wreckage were successfully retrieved.

Reports suggest that the bus was reportedly ferrying members of the public who had hired it for an event when it got involved in an accident while attempting to join the Waiyaki Way.

In the videos circulating on social media, the bus was in an upside-down position with all its windows shattered and seats strewn all over the area.

Similarly, the trailer was completely deformed on its front side depicting the extent of the accident.

Meanwhile, police officers managed to arrive at the accident scene hours later after which investigations were launched and the bus towed away to the nearby police station.
