At least eleven people died this Monday, January 29, and another fifty-three were injured when a bus collided with a truck in western Kenya, police reported.
The bus, which came from the Ugandan capital, Kampala, and was heading to Nairobi, collided this morning with a truck when trying to overtake on a highway in the Othoo area, about eight kilometers from the town of Awasi.
“Both vehicles are damaged and we can say, for now, that there are about ten people dead and that a child between 3 and 4 years old has succumbed,” said Nyando Sub-County Police Commander Grace Thuo.
Thuo warned that the death toll could increase due to the high number of injuries, who were evacuated to different hospitals.
Locals, police officers and members of the Red Cross went to the scene of the accident to rescue the victims.
“This accident is serious, here I see several bodies. The bus collided with a truck carrying rice because we could see it scattered everywhere,” a member of the Red Cross told The Star newspaper.
The company that owns the bus, Super Metro, regretted the accident and conveyed “a message of condolence to the families who lost their loved ones and a speedy recovery to those who are in the hospital.”
