Several students from Kenyatta University are feared dead after their bus was involved in an accident on Monday, March 18.
The accident involving the university bus and a trailer was reported in Maungu, Voi, Taita Taveta County resulting in the death and injuries of several students.
From the photos circulating online, the university bus appeared to be hit from the back by the loaded trailer which mostly affected the students seating in the rear seats.
Some of the students were seen motionless on the ground as eyewitnesses attempted to rescue the injured before police arrived.
Police and an emergency response team from the county arrived at the scene to assess the situation, offer emergency care to the injured and ferry the bodies to the local mortuaries.
Additionally, seats from the bus and other materials belonging to the students were scattered on the ground as it continued raining.
The accident resulted in traffic build-up as motorists stopped to stare in shock at the horrific accident scene. Police were however quick to guide the motorists to avoid a traffic snarl up.
The university administration was yet to issue a statement by the publishing of this article.
