A woman has died while 48 passengers have been injured after the bus they were travelling in veered of the road and rolled in Ihindu along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway near the Kinungi blackspot.

The woman died on the spot, with rescuers taking more than three hours to retrieve her body from the bus belonging to Mbukinya company.

The driver of the 62-seater Nairobi-bound bus veered from his lane towards the right side of the road where the vehicle tipped over and rolled several times into a nearby farm.

FOGGY WEATHER

A witness, Kamau Gichuhi, who was among the first responders, said the bus driver claimed to have lost his way in the foggy weather during the 4am incident.

"The driver looked tired and haggard. But we managed to rescue a large number of victims involved in the early morning accident," said Mr Gichuhi.
