Reports from Kenya indicate that Five people died in a road accident that occurred in Gilgil on Saturday after a bus they were traveling in lost control and rolled several times.

Traffic commandant Samuel Kimaru told Capital FM news that the bus that was ferrying passengers from Nairobi to Siaya overturned after the driver hit a culvert.

Those killed include a man and three women who died on the spot in the 1 am incident—according to police.

“The bus veered off the road as the driver attempted to avoid hitting an oncoming trailer,” Kimaru said “it is apparent the bus was on a high speed at the time of the accident.”

Forty five other passengers were injured in the accident and taken to the Gilgil District Hospital where some were still admitted.
